CRYSTALS OF ARBOREA 

Arborea, last island refuge on a 
submerged world - a world in 
chaos. The Crystals of Arborea, 
four crystals of great magical 
power, have disappeared from 
their sacred resting places. 

Morgoth, Lord of Chaos, for¬ 
merly exiled deep under the plan¬ 
et’s surface by the warrior-gods of 
old and held there by the power of 
the crystals, once again stalks the 
surface of Arborea. 

You, Jarel, Prince amongst 
your people, must travel Arborea 
with a band of trusted compan¬ 
ions. 

You have only your skill and 
cunning of a warrior and the magic 
of the White Arts, to defend your¬ 
self against the evil of Morgoth 
and his allies. Fortunately, with the 
help of your allies you will be able 
to confuse the enemy and hope¬ 
fully gain the advantage. 

Each team member can be 
controlled and will be of some 
specific use when battling against 
Morgoth. These skills will become 
apparent as the game unfolds. 

Some of the battles will be 
bloody and not all will go your way 
but you must continue the fight 
against evil otherwise Morgoth will 
take control and death and 
destruction will reign forever. 

Crystals of Arborea is set for 
release in April although the price = 
has not been estabilished as yet. ■ 
We will keep you informed. 



There are some wonderful and marvelous 
sites to see in Crystals of Arborea and 
each location has been beautifully drawn 
to enhance the games atmosphere. At the 
bottom of the screen is the status window 
which informs you how welt you are doing. 
The character presently under your control 
is dispiayed in the centre of the informa¬ 
tion window and the other team members 
are shown to the right. 



The demon has arisen from his under¬ 
ground domain and his conquest of evil 
and destruction is about to begin. Restore 
the crystais or ali wiil be lost. The crys¬ 
tals are the source of Arborea's power and 
only they can restore peace and tranquilli¬ 
ty in this iand of despair and terror.

AMIGA 

ACTION 




emoniak is a combination of 
text adventure and simulated 
reality. It is the first off game in 
Palace’s Pure Fiction series, fea¬ 
turing a unique new system which 
simulates a game-world with inde¬ 
pendent but interacting characters. 

The game includes over 50 
independent artificially intelligent 
characters, and the player can 
become any one of these while all 
other characters continue their 
lives ‘off screen’. Thus, a vast num¬ 
ber of perspectives and abilities are 



open to the player, creating a 
game of remarkable depth, free¬ 
dom and complexity. 

Demoniak has been written by 
Alan Grant, a comic writer of inter¬ 
national renown, with titles such as 
Batman, Judge Dredd and Stron¬ 
tium Dog of 2000AD fame to his 
cre(jlit. We couldn’t show you any 
text screen as they were not avail¬ 
able to us at this time. 

The game is planned for 
release sometime in April carrying 
a price tag of about £29.99. 


There is plenty of villainy and death and the plot soon unfolds 
into something more terrible than you had originally anticipat¬ 
ed. The characters presently in shot are shown in detail to the 
left of the screen. 




Although a text adventure, some of the location graphics are excellent 
and extremely well detailed. The look of the game is pretty damn sinis¬ 
ter and the plot shrouded in mystery. 



Demoniak is evil incarnate. Demoniak 
is claws that rip at innocent eyes, - 
fangs that tear the throats of angels, j 
Demoniak is the curse that shrieks 
down the centuries - a scream that 
cries blood! 


Demoniak has 
torn a hole in the 
fabric of your 
universe. 

Through it pour 
his evil hordes 
hell hent on con¬ 
quest and gratu¬ 
itous violence. 
You must stop 
him now or suf¬ 
fer the conse¬ 
quences. 
























































































SHE LinEIS * 

TOP SECRET HYDRA 

We re in the future now and terror¬ 
ists rule the seas and skies. When 
a top secret package must be 
delivered, the only courier with the 
skill to get through is Hydra. 

With nine missions to com¬ 
plete, success rests on your ability 
to steer your Hydracraft using its 
supercharged speed and firepow¬ 
er to blast a path through the 
enemy. Whether you’re running 
against a gauntlet of boats, jetskis, 
Zeppelins, choppers, fighters or 
hovercraft, the game looks set to 
offer some extremely heart-pound¬ 
ing action. 

Everything and everyone is 
against you and they will stop at 
nothing to sabotage your courier 
plans. Can you keep them at bay 
or will you end up like those 
before you - deadmeat? 

The release date has not been 
set or the price but we will inform 
you of both as and when they are 
available. 



There are plenty of missions to choose 
from and each contains its own individual 
hazards and tasks that must be completed. 
Begin with the easier missions to become 
experienced for the harder ones later on. 
Should you fail your mission you will be 
asked to start again from scratch and you 
will be given a new directive. But remem¬ 
ber, the experience all counts. 



Straight in the thick of the action and you 
are already under attack from the enemy 
forces. Watch out for the islands as they 
will damage your craft. All kinds of differ¬ 
ent enemy craft will attack and each new 
one win be more vicious than the last. 

Keep your gun blasting and you should take 
some of the enemy out successfully. 



Destroy the enemy formations and collect 
the money that is strung below the bal¬ 
loons. Keep an eye on pur fuel level oth¬ 
erwise you will find yourself slowing down 
in front of oncoming aliens. 









(Far left) The units move around the map 
screen via the mouse and commands input

W e already mentioned Nam 
1965 - 1975 from Domark in 
the last issue but all we were able 
to show you was a photo of 
Domark playing soldiers. Well, the 
guys and gals have sent us some 
in-game screen pics. 

There are two aspects to Nam 
- political and military, both of 
which have to be finely balanced. 
As Commander-in-Chief, you must 


prevent South Vietnam falling to 
the Communist powers. Invading 
Viet Cong guerrillas attempt to ‘win 
over’ the population and so topple 
the South Vietnamese Govern¬ 
ment. You have full control over the 
marines, airforce and army. 

The date of release was origi¬ 
nally to be February but the product 
will be a little later. Expect a review 
in the next issue. 



As a political leader, you will be scruti¬ 
nised by the newspapers. Some of the 
reports will be favourable, others will not. 
If they are not you will need to take the 
necessary action to make you popular once 
again with your people. 


DM HE HEMIIES 


Trapped on an edge, you are forced to fight 
your way into safety against a soldier and 
an executioner. The axeman is armed with 
a deadly axe which he will use to slice your 



T he Jolly Roger’s flying. Evil 
pirates, treasure and adven¬ 
ture on the high seas are all part of 
the action in this swashbuckling 
fight for food, drink, booty and 
revenge. These are the ingredients 
to Domark’s Skull & Crossbones. 

Unsheath your sword - there’s 
more than treasure at stake. There 
are wenches to be saved and 
pirate ships to be overhauled. Fight 


against the Arch Magus and try to 
avoid Medusa’s deadly stare. 
Pirate fights pirate in this hack ‘n’ 
slash game for two players. 

Pirates features some very 
attractive graphics and superb ani¬ 
mation. But you will have to be skil- 
full with your sword otherwise you 
will perish along with all the other 
would-be pirates. No release date 
yet but we’ll keep you informed. 


BOILD VOOB BIIB BEBUIY 


E ver since the appearance of 
the Freescape environment 
system, each new Freescape 
release has been improved and 
sold more than the previous. But 
what exactly is Freescape? 

The first Freescape game to 
come from Domark was entitled 
Driller. It featured amazing 3D 
graphics that were realistic in that 
you could view them from any 
angle and they would still remain 
‘true’. In effect, a world was created 
that could be explored in great 
detail. 

After Driller came Dark Side, 
Total Eclipse and Castle Master. 
Now, Domark are set to release the 
Freescape 3D Construction Set: 
You can build your own worlds to 
explore and your options are 
almost unlimited. 

3D Construction Set looks to 
be a biggy so keep your eyes 
peeled. It will be available in April 
with the price to be announced. 



000 / 06 ' 



(Below) Aah! A cosy fire and a spongy sofa. 
What more could you want? More! If you 
want more then you are going to have to 
buy the game. We’ve started you off any¬ 
how, the rest is up to you. 



(Above) Obviously, once you have built a 
house you will need some way of getting 
around. A car is the obvious choice and you 
can make it as sporty or classic as you like. 
The choices are limitless.

As usual with the Jack Nicklaus Golf 
games, the graphics are extremely colour¬ 
ful and very well detailed indeed. The 
golfer is always shown in the centre of the 
screen although there is an option to view 
the course from different angles. 


The atmosphere is tense as you step 
towards the table to make your shot. Will 
you go for a pot or attempt a safety shot? 
The decision is yours hut you’ll have to 
plan carfully if you are to win. 


B y day Brat is the most angelic 
baby you can ever hope to 
meet. But once he’s asleep he 
starts to have the strangest dreams 
where he becomes a rough, tough, 
street smart Brat who roams the 
strange worlds of his dreams look¬ 
ing for trouble. 

But despite his tough exterior. 


he’s still a baby and has now lost 
all sense of direction. You must 
take control of Brat and guide him 
safely through the strange fantasy 
world of Toy Town, The Park and 
Space World. 

Brat’s unique mode of control 
means that the game should be 
very playable and easy to get into. 


With a huge playing area, a host of 
objects to collect, lots of hazards to 
avoid and the wildest baby you’ll 
ever meet. Brat has all the hall¬ 
marks of a classic, so expect a full 
review soon. 

It will be published on the 
Imageworks label this Spring and 
will set you back a measly £24.99. 


lOM mum 

M ega-lo-Mania allows you to 
speed up the process of evo¬ 
lution with its unique facility to 
develop industry, wealth and supe¬ 
rior weaponry. Covering nine basic 
ages from cave men through the 
two World Wars and the distant 
future, Mega-lo-Mania unleashes 
that facility to whoever plays the 
program. 

The release date and price for 
Mega-lo-Mania has not been set. 


Eimi IHE miOZOIE 


R obozone is set in a bleak 
vision of the future, the 21st 
century, where the big cities are so 
polluted that no human can survive 
there. So the chosen few escape to 
ships moored where the pollution is * 
less severe. The masses remain in 
the city along with the Wolverine, a 
squad of robots armed with power¬ 
ful weapons who are to protect the 
city until such time as the pollution 
has subsided enough for the cities 
to become habitable again. 

The Wolverine were subjected 
to increasing numbers of attacks by 
angry citizens who felt they had 
been abandoned by their govern¬ 
ment. Then, a new threat emerged 
- the Pollutants. These came from 
nowhere, evil black, stick-like 
robots that wrecked the cities and 
scavenged all the metal they could 


find. Having the element of sur¬ 
prise they completely overwhelmed 
the Wolverine, destroying thou¬ 
sands. Now they have the city 
under their control. 

Robozone is a sideways 
scrolling shoot ‘em-up. You play 
the only Wolverine left in New York 
and must attempt to reach the 
main furnace in order to stop the 
Pollutants. No date for release has 
been set yet, likewise the price. 


SHE LIIIEII!! 


THE GREAT US OPEN 

The fourth disc in the series of 
Jack Nicklaus accessory discs. 
Great Courses of the US Open 
contains three of the most chal¬ 
lenging and popular courses to 
ever host the US classic: Pebble 
Beach, Oakmont Country Club 
and Baltursol Golf Club. 

Each course contains it’s own 
series of hazards which come in 
the shape of hills, bunkers and the 
dreaded water. The view is taken 
from behind the golfer although 
the views can be switched for the 
best possible vantage point. You’ll 
have to make sure that you take 
the wind direction Into account 
otherwise the ball will veer off 
course. 

The course disc, which is 
released by Accolade, should be 
around by the time you read this, 
with the price at £11.99.

In Railroad Tycoon you can choose just 
who you want to be. Obviously, first time 
players will want to begin at the novice 
stage but for those who prefer a challenge 
you make it as hard as you want. 

You have the chance to build your 
own railroad and supply trains to 
fund it but you’ll need to be a 
shrewd business man otherwise 
your competitors will steal the lime¬ 
light and your hopes. Obviously, 
there are other hazards to beware 
off. Running trains is no easy busi¬ 
ness and you’ll have to keep them 
running smoothly otherwise they 
might collide into each other and 
that would be a catastrophe. You 
can choose to carry passengers or 
start your business tranporting 
chemicals for farmers and industry. 
This is useful for starting up. 

If you have ever fancied 
designing your own railway (Horn¬ 
by fanatics this is for you) then 
look no further. Railroad Tycoon 
looks set to be a biggy. Expect a 
full review next month. 


SIDE UIEIS 

ON THE RIGHT TRACK 


Microprose have just finished Rail¬ 
road Tycoon which is previewed in 
the Late Kick Off section. The 
game revolves around the early 
days of railroad construction and 
the competitive spirit that helped 
make the system what it is today 
(no comments!). 


F ollowing on from the 
great success of Neb- 
ulus, Hewson are to release the 
sequel entitled, appropriately 
enough, Nebulus 2. 

^ Like the prequel, Nebulus 2 
features our favourite, bouncy 
friend Pogo as he attempts to 
make his way through the terribly 
confusing land of Nor, made up of 
sea and huge towers. 

Travelling from tower to ^ 
tower, Pogo must make his ^ 
way to the top of each one but this 
is not as simple as first seems. 
Each is littered with puzzles and 
dangers including the killer turtle - 
^ who flies around the towers 
destroying any Pogos that 


get in his way, leaping blobs, 
killer bees and exploding bal- 
loons. 

Pogo needs to avoid all the 
nasties and negotiate his way, 
using the lift and platforms, up to 
the top of each tower. Also includ¬ 
ed are three sub-games linking 
towers by air, sea and land. Fortu¬ 
nately, he can collect useful items 
such as magnets and power boots 
which will help him avoid the nas¬ 
ties and traps. These items, when 
collected, appear in the inventory 
window under the main display 
screen. But he needs to be careful 
how he uses them. Nebulus 2 will 
be released in late April with 
a price tag of £24.99. 


Aithough Pogo may think that he is reiative- 
ly safe from harm on the towers, he must 
keep aware of the impending danger of the 
flying turtle who rotates around the tower in 
an attempt to knock our hero off 


There are plenty of nasties in Nebulus 2 
and each one is out to stop Pogo. Fortunate¬ 
ly, he can wear the power boots which wiil 
ailow him to leap over them in great 
bounds. 


At the bottom of the screen is the inventory 
window which contains the speciai items 
held by Pogo. The keys open the doors 
while the magnet pulls down lifts that were 
previously inaccessible. 


Our little hero, Pogo, is back and this time 
he is determined to make it safely through 
the land of Nor by completing the towers 
successfully. If he fails then all is lost. 


Pogo must make his way to the top of the 
towers via the iifts, platforms and door¬ 
ways. Some doors are locked but he can 
open them using the speciai keys. 


CHOCKS AUW 


M icroprose, king of simulators, 
are set to release F-15 Strike 
Eagle 2. Amiga Action visited their 
offices and the product was looking 
very good indeed. 

As a fighter pilot, you must take 
part in several missions that will 
test all your aerial skills and com¬ 
bat experience. Most of the time 
you will be required to intercept 
enemy planes but you will progress 
onto the more complex missions 
such as tankbusting and reconnais¬ 
sance. If you make it back safely 
you can be proud of yourself and 
thank your lucky stars. Who knows, 
you may even be promoted to a 
higher rank. 

F-15 Strike Eagle 2 is due for 
release in April with the price yet to 
be decided. 


You take out the enemy below and then dart 
away from the war theatre and head for the 
safety of home. You can 7 help but think 
about the reaction by your superiors to your 
first successful mission. 


Looking 
through the 
ieft side you 
spot a major 
mountain 
area. It seems 
that there 
may be some 
enemy activi¬ 
ty close by. 
You close in 
on the area 
and scan for 
any enemy 
radar signals. 


As you thought, your commanding officer is 
more than happy with your mission status 
and calis you into his office. There, in front 
of the stars and stripes, he pins a medal to 
your chest. 


You are taken to the special hangar where 
you are shown around your bird. Now you 
have the chance to load up your plane with 
the kind of weapons you think may be nec¬ 
essary for the dangerous mission you are 
about to embark upon. 


You take off from your airbase runway and 
check your HUD for encroaching enemy 
planes. The HUD indicates a possible tar¬ 
get off to the left and so you take the appro¬ 
priate action.

"SKI OR DIE" FIVE FUN-FILLED WAYS 


TO END UP IN HOSPITAL 



SNOWBOARD HALF PIPE 



ACRO AERIALS 




INNERTUBE THRASH 


DOWNHILL BLITZ 



As Rodney so eloquently put it, "Snow sports ain't for powder puffs" So as soon as you arrive at his Ski Shop you'll be 
presented with not one, but five chilling routes to oblivion. Count 'em while you still can. 

There's the "Snowboard Half Pipe", 2 minutes of sheer hell down a near-sheer drop, not made any easier by the presence of 

teams of chain saw bunnies and punked out penguins. 


"Aero Aerials", fly, flip, twist and tuck, down the glacier and convince the judges that you really meant to do it that way. 

If your idea of fun is to race down a mountain on an inflated inner tube, while Rodney's son Lester tries to puncture you 
and your vehicle with various sharpened objects, "Innertube Thrash" is for you. 



You couldn't get further from a nice playful playground snowball fight. "Snowball Blast" is deadly and deadly serious. 

Finally there is "Downhill Blitz", a no-holds-barred race down unknown trails against the clock 
and against all common sense. 

And if you're the type who really does have a ski loose, then why not try them all? 

Do you prefer flowers or grapes? 

If you can't find "Ski or Die" at your favourite store, call our Direct Sales Line: 0753-49442

For years games players aroiind the uiorld haue ashed 
questions like "Which is the best shoot'em-up?", "is Falcon 
better than F15 strike Eagle?", "Which are the all time classic 
Amiga Games?". Now from the premier Amiga games maga¬ 
zine comes a world beating rating system that prouldes the 
answers to all those, as yet unanswered. Questions... 


The new system that has enabled 
this major advance in game scor¬ 
ing is called The Amiga Action 
Super League' and it uses a rank¬ 
ing system rather than a traditional 
percentage score. We have once 
again included an overall percent¬ 
age score in addition to the new 
system, while we collate your vot¬ 
ing forms. 

HovitheieayuesiisteinuiorKs 

There is a Super League for each 
type of game: a league for 
Shoot'em-ups, one for Flight Simu¬ 
lators, one for Puzzle games and 
so on. Each new game that comes 
in for review is put into one of 
these leagues based on which type 
of game it is. Where a game con¬ 
tains several gameplay aspects, 
our team decide which part of the 
game is the most significant. So for 
example, Strider 2 does contain 
elements found in platform games, 
but on the whole, you need to do 
more meanie killing than ladder 
climbing and so it is classed as a 
shoot'em-up. Every league has its 
own icon to make things easier to 
understand. 

Once a game has been placed 
in a league, its position within that 
league is decided. Essentially the 
reviewing team decides which 
games of the same type it is better 
than and which it is worse than. 
This means that for the first time in 
magazine reviewing, games are 
being compared against games of 
a similar type instead of against all 
games in general. 

The results of the reviewer's 
decision is displayed both on the 
review itself and on the League 
table pages elsewhere in the mag¬ 
azine (this month's tables are on 
the very next page!). 

So if you want to go out and 
buy a puzzle game, all you have to 
do is turn to the league tables, find 
the puzzle games table and look 



up which are the top games. Of 
course as new games are 
released, older games will start to 
drop down the leagues. Games 
which stay near the top of a league 
for many months or years are 
'classics'. 

otAerchaoyes 10 Amiga ACM 

It's not just the scoring system that 
has been redesigned. The entire 
magazine has been rethought to 
give you even better coverage of 
the expanding Amiga Games 
scene. 

As you will have noticed the 
review layouts are stunning and 
they feature some amazing new 
innovations. 

First on the list are what we 
call 'Digi-Scapes'. These are per¬ 
fectly joined screenshots which 
show what the entire playing area 
of a game looks like. It's impossi¬ 
ble to show how a game actually 
appears when moving on screen, 
but this is as close as you could 
possible get on a magazine page. 

Next comes 'Role Call'. These 
are panels showing the various 
characters from a game and what 
movements they can perform. 

Reviews now also contain spe¬ 
cial labelled screenshots (know in 
as 'annotated screenshots') 
which help to illustrate what the 
objects and gadgets in a game do. 
For example, we can now point to 
all the items on a flight sim's instru¬ 
ment panel and describe what 
each one does. 












Last but not least we have our 
'In Action' sequences which are 
used to tell stories or show how 
each move in the game affects 
your situation. These are particu¬ 
larly useful for describing puzzle 
games. 


Aidneivleaivnisioo! 

As well as improving our reviewing 
system and page layouts, we have 
taken this opportunity to add some 
more features to Amiga Action. 

There is now a regular mini 
reviews section called 'Late Kick 
Off. Here games that came into 
our office late in the month are 
evaluated. They don't get the full 
Amiga Action treatment and the 
games are not placed in the Super 
League until the following month, 
but it does give an insight into what 
the games are like. The best ones 
featured in Late Kick Off will be 
reviewed in the next month's mag¬ 
azine. 

Also a regular feature is our 
look at non games products for the 
Amiga. Two pages devoted to disk 
drives, modems, utilities and other 
useful gadgets. It's short and snap¬ 
py and keeps you up-to-date with 
the rest of the Amiga universe. 

We will also be giving you spe¬ 
cial features on just what the soft¬ 
ware houses are up to. If they pro¬ 
duce some kind of launch, you can 
bet your bottom dollar that we will 
be there, armed with a camera and 
a notepad.

I Response to our putting a 

' coverdisk on Amiga Action has 

I been amazing! So popular in fact 

I that we are now selling 6,000 more 

1 copies than before the arrival of 

the disk! Of course with public 
^ response like that, we couldn't do 

anything but make the coverdisk a 
i regular (that's every issue!). We'll 
guarantee you up to date demos 
i and sample programs. You can’t 

i lose really, can you?

As if that lot wasn't enough, we've

■ excellent screenshots. All this for

[ mat so keep viewing! 


TRICKS OF THE TRADE EKPLIIIIIEDIIIIDEIIPLOIIED 


The core of any scoring system 
is the score panel itself - and 
what a corker the new Amiga 
Action Info panel is! Below is a 


detailed annotation of the new 
score panel and some handy 
notes on the two new Amiga 
Action top game awards. The 


example shown is taken from the 
Kick Boxing review, but of course 
the info applies to all of Amiga 
Actions reviews. 


Obvious, but essential, informa¬ 
tion can be found at the top of 
the Action Info scoring panel. 
The game’s full name is fol¬ 
lowed by the software house who 
are publishing the product, and 
the full retail price at which it is 
available in the High Street. 


The quality of a game's graphics 
is one of the key factors in decid¬ 
ing whether or not to make a pur¬ 
chase. That's why graphics has 
its very own score block. Marks 
are given from 1% (ZX81 style) 
to 100% (Leonardo DeVinci eat 
your heart out!). Of course our 
team take a lot of factors Into 
account when scoring for graph¬ 
ics, including: Animation, 
scrolling, use of colour, variety 
of graphics and so on. This 
example shows a score of 85%. 


The most important aspect of an 
Amiga Action review is the 
reviewing team's comment. This 
explains in plain English what we 
thought of the game and where it 
fell down or, on the more posi¬ 
tive side, where it really scores. 
Percentage ratings and league 
tables are one thing, but this text 
is what you should really look 
out for when assessing a game. 


This line tells you which league 
the game under review has been 
placed in. These names corre¬ 
spond to the icon that you will 
find at the beginning of the 
review and the league tables 
which you will find on the next 
page and in every edition from 
now on.

PANZA KICK BOXING

We firmly believe that it is 
high time that the real heroes 
of the software business - the 
programmers and develop¬ 
ment teams - get some well 
earned recognition. That's 
why every review includes 
details of who actually creat¬ 
ed the game. This will take 
the form of either a develop¬ 
ment team's name or the 
Individual programmers sur¬ 
names. 



tion ever produced for the Amiga. The 
graphics have actually been copied from 
real life footage and this reflects in the 
smooth and realistic animation on the 
fighters. Sound is excellent and you can 
lly feel the blows making contact. The 
referee is a little annoying as he grunts 
whenever a decision is called and this 
sound does become very annoying after a 
while. Panza Kick Boxing is an excellent 
game and one that will definitely appeal to 
beat ‘em-up fans. 



As with graphics, sound gets 
its own rating. Again marks 
are on a percentage basis 
with points being given for, 
amongst other things: use of 
the Amiga's capabilities, 
originality, music, special 
effects and contribution to the 
game's atmosphere. This 
example shows a score of 
80% which is excellent. 

The League Rating panel 
informs you of where in the 
Super League the game 
under review is piaced. The 
game being reviewed will 
always appear in the middle 
of the three boxes while the 
game immediately above it 
in the league (i.e. the game 
which is just better than it) 
will be In the box above and, 
of course, the game just 
below it in the league will be 
placed in the box below. The 
league positions are indicat¬ 
ed to the teft of the game 
titles. If a game hits the 
number one slot then a 
Touchdown will be indicated 
in the top box - any game 
that does that is an absolute¬ 
ly essential purchase! 


KEIIIDIRDS FOR THOSE TOP RATED eOlHES... 


OVERALL SCORE 

80 % 


Talk about controversial! The overall rating 
is one of the most talked about subjects in 
computer games magazine journalism. All 
magazines use this system and like sheep 
each new magazines that is brought out has 
the same old unoriginal percentage score 
to rate how good a game is. We think it 
stinks! In fact we want to get rid of it all 
together. We believe that it is far to sim¬ 
plistic to just 'pick' a score as if out of mid 
air! However, we're here to serve you the 
reader so last month we gave you the 
chance to vote on the subject. It stays this 
month while we collate your votes. 



There are magazine accolades and 
there is THE magazine accolade - 
the 'Amiga Action Super League 
Accolade'! Only games which will 
leave their mark on the software 
world for years to come can ever 
hope to receive this coveted award. 
You can rest assured that if you see 
this symbol on a review, that game 
is an essential purchase! So remem¬ 
ber only games of classic status will 
receive the Super League Accolade. 



We have decided that there are 
many games out there that, while 
not all time classics, are superb 
games that are well worth the ask¬ 
ing price. These games have been 
given their own award, the 'Amiga 
Action Recommended'. Again if you 
see this icon on a review you can be 
sure that a game is well worth buy¬ 
ing. The minimum qualification for 
a game to receive this recommend¬ 
ed stamp is a score of 75% or over.

AMIGA 









































Ulelcome to this, the fifth Amiga Action cooer dish, and mhat a couer dish 
it IS this month. Ulorhing day and night uie’ue managed to bring you three 
of the best (if not THE BEST) demos around. 

First of all there's a complete playable leuei from Mirrorsott's each 
to the Future III. neMt comes yet another hot exclusiue from Gremlin in 
the Shape of super cars li. Again there’s a whole leuei tor you to much 
about with. 

And then lust when you thought there could he no more we haue got 
hold of a Whole playable leuei from Gore’s latest game, Chuch Roch, to go 
with this month's mega reuiew. 



Loading up your playable level of Chuck Rock from 
Core Design couldn’t be simpler. All you have to do is 
reset your Amiga and wait for the Workbench prompt to 
appear (the hand holding the disk). Insert your 
Coverdisk into your drive and wait for the screen to 
turn blue and the CLI prompt to appear (1>). Once 
this is displayed type in chuck rock and then hit 
Return. The demo will then autoboot after de¬ 
crunching itself. 



Not all the monsters are against you. Once you have stood They don’t call you Chuck Rock for nothing. Picking up a Let your dinos do the walking. With one massive jump you 

close enough to this bird he will carry you across the other- nearby rock you throw it on to the croc’s head and you are land on the dinosaur’s back and get a leisurely trip across 

wise uncrossable chasm. catapulted into the air and on to the platform above you. the swamp. , 



Chuck sat down in front of the old 
box to watch a bit of dino-wrestling. 
He broke open a six pack and sat 
back, for what he thought was 
going to be a relaxing afternoon. 

Outside Ophelia, Chuck’s faith¬ 
ful, beautiful and rather dumb wife, 
was hanging out the washing. 
Unfortunately, she was quite 
unaware of the eyes staring at her 
from behind a small bush. Before 
she knew what had happened it 
was too late and she was on her 
way back to the evil, and rather 


posey, Gary Gutter’s cave. 

It wasn’t long before Chuck 
realised something was amiss 
(well, it was about dinner-time). 
Ophelia was gone and without her 
Chuck couldn’t even boil an egg. 
There was only one thing to do - 
he must save her, even if all his 
clothes were dirty. 

That’s the basic story line. All 
you have to do is control Chuck as 
he pursues Gary Gritter. The nor¬ 
mal joystick moves apply so you 
shouldn’t have any problems. 


























1) The klaxon sounds and the race begins. Leaving you in 
their dust, the computer cars storm off to the first corner. 

2) The first bend, a hairpin, proves too tricky for some 
cars as they skid off into the undergrowth. Take it slowly, 
use the grass verge to drive and power after the leader. 

3) After a short straight, a tight left-hander leads into the 
jump. This corner causes problems on the first lap, as 


most of the cars travel around in a pack. Stay back and 
wait your turn otherwise they will hinder your progress. 

4) Staying back was a brilliant idea, as the cars in front 
couldn’t get up enough speed to take the jump. The road 
is clear, you can now speed over the chasm. 

5) Having skidded around a tight right-hander, the track 
leads under the long straight and up into another twisting 


bend. Try not to brake when taking corners or you’ll skid 
out of control. 

6) Easing off the accelerator, you managed to scrape 
around the corner without taking damage. Only one more 
turn before you can finish the lap. 

7) The corner eases out revealing a long straight to gain 
speed. It also offers the perfect chance to overtake. 


SUPEICMS 2 


To load up your Supercars 2 demo 
you will need to load your Work¬ 
bench disk first. Once it has load¬ 
ed insert your coverdisk and dou¬ 
ble click on the Amiga Action logo. 
From the window read the 
README file first then double click 
on the Supercars 2 icon after. The 
demo will now load. 

Gremlin released Supercars 
approximately a year ago, and it 
was billed as being far better than 
the excellent SuperSprint. Now 
one of the hottest sequels of 1991 
is finally here on an exclusive 
Amiga Action coverdisk. 

Supercars 2 features bigger 
and better tracks, as well as 
enhanced graphics and more com¬ 
puterised opponents - 10 to be 
precise. You view the track-side 


action from above, the screen 
being split into two when racing 
with someone else. 

The level featured on the demo 
includes jumps, fast straights and 
winding bends. A total of 10 laps 
have to be completed before the 
race is over, the ultimate aim being 
to finish the race in first place (eas¬ 
ier said than done!). 

When playing the demo, press 
the fire button to accelerate, and 
nudge the joystick left or right to 
turn in either direction. Pushing for¬ 
ward will launch a guided missile, 
which will follow the course of the 
track until it intercepts a car in 
front. Pulling back on the joystick 
will launch two unguided missiles 
behind you. The other cars are 
also armed so watch out! 















uidihb ip 

Loading your Back to the Future III 
demo couldn’t be easier. All you 
need do is re-boot your Amiga and 
wait for the Workbench prompt (a 
hand holding a disk). When this 
appears insert your disk into DFO. 
Eventually, the screen will turn blue 
and you will be presented with a 
CLI prompt (1>). At this point type: 
demo and then hit Return. The 
demo will immediately autoboot. 




ME mill -HUE! 

There are plenty of different items to shoot at and by far the easiest are the ducks that 
scroll across the bottom. The goose is fairly easy but the gunslingers and military tar¬ 
gets need to be shot in the body or the head to knock them over - they don’t move if 
you get them in the legs. 

The hardest of all the objects to hit are the distant riflemen. They are very small 
in size and disappear from sight rather quickly. Just hope that you can be in the right 
place at the right time. 



After the amazing success of the 
first two Back to the Future games 
we thought you would like a sneak 
preview of the third instalment in 
this exciting episode. 

This time, Marti and the Profes¬ 
sor are running for their lives from 
evil gunslingers and baddies in 
general in a hope to get back to 
their own time. 

In this playable level, you play 
the part of Marti who is desperately 
trying to swot up on his shooting 
skills. He bumps into a fairground 
where he spots a shooting gallery. 
What better way to sharpen his 
reflexes? 

The attendant beckons him up 
to the stall where he hands him a 
gun. Marti pays the attendant and 
sets himself up for the battle 
ahead. 

This is where you step in. Con¬ 
trolling Marti’s gun, you must shoot 
the ducks and geese that scroll 
across the screen. Gunslingers 


and military targets also pop up 
and are worth heavy 
bonus points. Riflemen appear in 
the distance and, although small 
and quick, they are worth a lot of 
points should you hit them. 

The gun is controlled with the 
joystick and the direction of the bul¬ 
lets is indicated by a cross hair. 
Pushing up on the stick moves the 
gun down while pushing down 
moves up. Does that make sense? 

Unfortunately, you are being 
timed so you will need to shoot as 
fast as you can. If you hit a certain 
number of targets you will be 
rewarded with extra time where you 
must shoot household objects such 
as transistor radios and teddy 
bears, much like the Generation 
Game. 

If your time does expire you will 
told the number of objects that you 
hit and how many points you accu¬ 
mulated. But don’t worry if you 
didn’t do too well. You can always 


have another go. 

If on the other hand any sharp¬ 
shooters among you do extremely 
well and manage a really high 


score you will come to a point 
where the game stops, preventing 
you going any further, and you will 
have to reset your machine. 




The time is running out and you 
still haven t hit anything useful. Ah 
ha! You take aim at a goose before 
letting go a single bullet. Blam! 
The goose quacks in pain before 
dropping lifeless from its support.

Taking a break from shuffling through the mailbag, the Boggit has 
been poking around in the latest releases and has brought in a few 
blooms from the cold-frame. 

sequences are similar to that used 
in Sierra's Hero Quest - awkward. 
However the graphics are very 
nicely done and although there Is 
loads of disk swapping I don't think 
we should get uptight about that. 
You can't create a masterpiece 
without swapping a few disks now 
and again and again.... 

This game Is the successor to 
Personal Nightmare which had 
many fans here and overseas. The 
puzzles appears to be fewer and 
easier than those found in Personal 
Nightmare, but that may be all to 
the good. I don't think the game is 
destined to be a world beater, but 
like Its predecessor, It is profession¬ 
ally presented and deserves to do 
well. 

Archimedes and I spent a few 
evenings with Dragon Wars from 
Electronic Arts. The game is very 
much in the Bard's Tale vein which 
means that your mission Is to 
select a Dirty Dozen, (five actually) 



Dragon Wars may be similar to the old- 
style Bard’s Tale games, but they includ¬ 
ed this handy auto-mapping feature 
which will help you to find your way 
around the torturous city streets. 

I n true vampire style, Elvira 
has bounced back from the 
grave in this graphic RPG from 
Accolade. Having found Elvira's 
Spell Book, the hunt is now on to 
find the many Ingredients which 
are needed to conjure up the 
magical concoctions needed to 
cast the spells. 

Elvira requires your help to 
destroy the army of soldiers and 
monsters which infest the battle¬ 
ments and dungeons of her cas¬ 
tle. Who could resist helping 
such a poor under-nourished 
child? The gorgeous Elvira's 
humour is very American, which 
sits uneasily alongside the horror 
of the game (For example: Get 
this wrong, and I'll tie knots in 
your Weenie!') 

The controls for fighting 


from the local pubs and kick their 
butts until they can 'cut It' with 
the local bad guys. Nothing very 
new seems to have been added 
to the familiar formula, even if 
they have changed the names 
and shuffled the skills. 

Games like these are very 
addictive once you accept that 
most of the action takes place in 
your head. It can be off-putting 
for new players to accept that the 
picture of the corner of a room in 
front of you, which is clearly visl- 
blb and obviously empty, may 
prove to contain six heavily 
armed Dragons when you move 
foHA^ard. 

Although their picture will 
appear onscreen, that's all the 
action they will be asking your 
supercharged Amiga to cope 
with. It also seems odd that when 
the fighting Is taking place the 
machine takes an interminable 
time to decide who hit whom and 
with what. If you are into this type 
of game - here's some more of 
the same.

Welcome to Elvira’s Castle, Boggit. Would you like a double room for the night, or would 
you like me to eat your owl now and save you a few quid? 


I m not sure uiho authorises plan¬ 
ning permission in these parts, hut 
they are in line for a rochet from 
me. The one thing uie forest lolh 
guard is peace and eulet, and 
there has been precious little of 
that around here lately. When I 
first heard the noise I wandered 
ouer towards the crossroads to 
find carts filled with worhers 
entering the clearing and begin¬ 
ning to set up huts. It now appears 
that they haue been sent to build a 
Polyester Factory. 

sierra On-Line haue decided 
that Europe is ripe for an 
overdose of Leisure suit Larry and 
his huddles, so miles of eatra 
white polyester leisure suits will 
he needed tor the invasion. A small 
printing press is also being built 
to publish a series of comic boohs 
based on the space Quest series. 
The sarien Encounter will he the 
first, followed by a series based 
on The Adventures of Roger Ulllco. 
Although 75% of sierra s income 
comes from the lem re marhet 
they intend to double the business 
that they presently get from the 
Amiga sales.

Throw salt ouer your Shoulder 
and Qei soma luck with Eiuira 

/ have had 'Elvira - Mistress of the 
Dark' for about a week now and I 
am doing okay, but I do have a few 
questions. How do you kill the fat 
woman with the meat cleaver who 
scares Elvira out of the kitchen? 
How do you avoid being killed by 
the hawk and how do you kill the 
Vampire? 

I hope you are better than 
those *$(§>!! at ST Action, especial¬ 
ly the Troll. I sent in a couple of 
guides and queries and never got 
mentioned once. 

Phil Hoad, Hull 

Have you heard the saying: She 
was a good cook as good cooks 
go, and as good cooks go, she 
went? Well in this case she won't 
go,, so I'm afraid you're going to 
have to get rid of her. You must 
remove her by throwing the salt 
which is found in the Torture Room, 
situated on the Dungeon Level and 
guarded by a red-tunic skeleton. 

The vampire needs the old 
stake in the heart trick, but you'll 
need the hammer from the garden 
shed to stick it to her. Once she 
has bitten the dust (literally!) you'll 
find that what you need to deal with 
the hawk. Don't forget to sweep up 
the mess left by the vampire - tidy- 
ness pays in this case. 


As for writing to Atari ST maga¬ 
zines, you should be ashamed of 
yourself. Just imagine the embar¬ 
rassment if your Mum caught you 
reading them. 

RBliectlons from The Loom 

Having purchased Loom from 
Lucasfilms, I have tried everything 
to get into The Guild Of Black¬ 
smiths. I have found the following 
spells: Opening, Emptying, Dyeing, 
Night Vision, Straw into Gold, 
Twisting, Invisibility, Terror, Sharp¬ 
ening, Sleep, Healing and Tran¬ 
scendence. I think I need the 
Reflection spell, so please tell me 
where to find it. 

N. Newing, Brighton 

You are correct that you need the 
Reflection spell and I'm not sur¬ 
prised that you didn't find it. Being 
extremely ugly, humans subcon¬ 
sciously avoid looking at mirrors 
and reflecting surfaces. You won't 
be surprised to hear that / found it 
straightaway! 

Once you have terrorised the 
dragon (you unkind brat), you wi!l 
enter the series of caves which 


leads to the edge of a pool of 
water. 

Look closely at the pool and it 
will reveal the reflection spell. I got 
so close that I actually fell in the 
pool twice, but then you can't get 
enough of a good thing. 

Tahe notes irem the Boggit s 
worHbench 

/ need some of your super advice 
and I cannot think of anyone else 
to turn to (Grovel, Grovel). 

The problem starts when I try 
to save my work on my Amiga. 
After slogging my guts out writing 


up a report using the Notepad Icon, 
I decided to save my work, so I 
went to the menu and selected 
Save. At that point the message 
comes up: Workbench 1.3 is write 
protected. / then placed a blank 
disk in dfO: and in df1: but then a 
message came up: Replace Work¬ 
bench 1.3 into any disk drive, even 
though Workbench 1.3 is in the 
internal disk drive. I have tried 
everything and don't know what to 
do. 

G. Toovey (W. Ham Supporter) 

My advice is that you should sell 
your Amiga, buy an Atari ST and 























transfer to Millwall. 

After all the time and effort our 
beloved editor spent giving these 
scrolls a real adventure atmo¬ 
sphere, you write in with a Work¬ 
bench query! I thought the nuts 
with the arcade game questions 
were bad enough. It's not as if it 
was a difficult problem either. 

The Amiga isn't stupid, it 
knows what disk is where. When 
you selected Save, it quite rightly 
tried to create a Notepad document 
on the Workbench disk (that's 
where they are saved!). It then told 
you that your disk was write pro¬ 
tected and expected you to move 
the little tab so it could continue. 
Instead of doing that, you removed 
the disk and put two different disks 
back in. It then told you to stop 
messing about and put the Work¬ 
bench disk back in. What did you 
expect it to do? 

If you want your notes to be 
stored on another disk I suggest

you save it on the Workbench 
disk first then quit from the 
Notepad program. Double-click on 
the Utilities icon and you will see 
•he icon for the document you 
saved. Use the mouse to copy the 
document from the Workbench to 
the disk in df1:. Now delete the 
original version on the Workbench 
disk by moving it to the Trashcan. 

The clever trick which now 
happens, is that when you double 
click on the document icon on your 
new disk, the Notepad program will 
automatically run and let you carry 
on adding to your document. Let 
no other cretin dare to ask a tech¬

See Through the Dungeon mas¬ 
ter s Illusion 

After your incessant ramblings 
about how wonderful the FTL 
game Dungeon Master is, I have at 
great expense expanded my 
Amiga and purchased the afore¬ 
said game, and much as it grieves 
me to admit it, you are right It is a 
very, very, very good game, but not 
without its problems. 

I have advanced to Level 8 
and ran around the Great Hall 
where I have been bombed and 
attacked by skeletons, but at last 
found two keys - neither of which 
is the RA key to get me into the 
chamber upstairs. I have found the 
doors which the keys open and I 
have been up and down the stairs 
till I'm knackered. 

At the bottom of one long stair¬ 
case is a symbol on the wall, and 
at the bottom of the other is a sign 


which says: When is a rock not a 
rock? Think on Boggit - if you 
don't help me I won't renew my 
subscription. 

A Hatter, Bucks 

If you don't renew your subscrip¬ 
tion, you won't be able to write long 
rambling pages of rubbish to me 
and I won't have to read them! 

First stop worrying about find¬ 
ing the RA key, that's miles below 
you. The long flight of stairs with 
the wing symbol at the bottom 
requires the winged key to open it, 
and you can forget about that as 
well. Your first problem is realising 
that a rock isn't a rock when it's an 
illusion. One of those walls can be 
walked through. 

However I will ruin your day by 
telling you that what is waiting for 
you on the other side of the wall will 
make you wish you hadn't got out 
of bed. 

Dungeon Quest Help sought 

Enclosed is an 'almost' complete 
solution to Dungeon Quest. This 
game is advertised as 'The Ulti¬ 
mate Experience in Multisensory 
Gaming'. 

PAH! The game has no sense 
and definitely ho parser. I have 
played many adventures and this 
most be the most annoying one. I 
have fallen at the final hurdle due 
to a lack of communication within 
the program. I think you should 
cast a really nasty Boggit spell at 
the writers. 

I need help with the final prob¬ 
lem. What do I do when I 
encounter the seated figure that 
beckons in the far corner of the 
Garden? 

Oh, and thankyou for the 
'Small' token in the 'Big' box you 
sent me for my last solution. 

M. Fairfax, Nottingham 

As you almost sent me a complete 
solution, I decided to almost send 
you another present. As it is, I now 
have to solve the problem for you. I 
haven't played the game myself, 
but when I contacted the Witch who 
lives on the Hill, she gave me the 
following advice: 

Say search, then look at the 
person twice. Type Ask Hal, until 
you end up in the final location, 
then type rest computer. The witch 
also confirmed that the game is 
'Naff'!

You incredibly and amazingly, intel¬ 
ligent creature. (Carry on, you have 
my full attention - Boggit.) / am 
writing to assist your many readers 


who are trying to play Shadow of 
the Beast II. This information will 
help all players who have run out 
of their Potion of Life. 

Go right at the starting point - 
round the nasty! Stop when a half¬ 
witted guard shouts abuse at you 
and take it like a man. Now type in 
A. After that type in TEN PINTS, 
(this does not insinuate that either 
you or the guard are paralytic). 

A caption will now appear pro¬ 
claiming that your name is Roger 
and that you are a cheat. Ignore 
these ridiculous statements, (espe¬ 
cially the last one) and prepare 
yourself for a pleasant surprise. 
Now like myself you will be able to 
conquer the evil Zelik and his many 
henchmen without worrying about 
your dwindling supply of potion. 

J. Courts, Truro 

I have broken another one of my 
unbreakable rules by letting this 
piece of information grace these 
hallowed pages. I have decreed 
that this game and its predecessor 
are arcade games (even if they do 
come with a free T shirt costing 10 
pounds!) I wish to hear no more on 
the matter. And that goes double 
for the mad Aussie who wrote to 


say that although he knew I 
didn't answer questions about 
arcade games, could I answer 
his questions about the following 
arcade games!

Maniac mansians steal

I've been playing Maniac Man¬ 
sion on my C64 and I hadn't any 
problems. Now I have an Amiga 
and I can't open the security 
door. 

I'm getting mad, because I 
can't think where to get the 
codes. I also don't know how to 
get the key from the crystal chan¬ 
delier in the room with the old 
radio, tape recorder and couch. 

Excuse me if I did some mis¬ 
takes. I'm learning English for 
five years and I wrote this letter 
myself, without anybody's help. 

Anna Zuk, Warsaw 

This is your lucky day, because I 
have just decided to start giving 
English lessons to pretty Polish 
girls. Providing you are not one 
of those huge girls from the Red- 
Star Tractor Factory, (who can lift 
15 Boggits with one hand), you 


CIMli UIE 



Before you go dashing off into the darkness of Mirrorsoft’s Chaos Dungeon, take Bog- 
git's advice and go searching for the two super heroes hidden behind the illusion walls 


(preferably a strong wizard) to 
blast a path through the monster 
guards, but don't dally because 
there are time locks set to seal 
the super-heroes in their cells 
forever. 

Finding the secret corridors 
is easy. Having selected some¬ 
one from the main prison, head¬ 
butt your way along the walls 
until you fall through. Once 
through a wall there are no fur¬ 
ther tricks, just a short way to a 
staircase. There are two of these 
entrances from the main area, 
one round the corner from the 
hero Mantia and the other near 
the Aztec warrior. Of course 
there Is the small problem of the 
two rooms filled with rock mon¬ 
sters and Mummies who are 
guarding the heroes, but for 
someone as smart as you - no 
problem! 


H aving guided your heroes to 
victory in Dungeon Master 
you might think that it's only fair 
that the same team deserve to go 
fonrt^ard with you into the Chaos 
Dungeon, but think again. The 
one criticism which could be lev¬ 
eled at Chaos Strikes Back is that 
imported heroes can be too 
strong for the local monsters. To 
get the best out of the game I 
suggest that you visit the Chaos 
Prison and select afresh. Look 
closely at the men who are on 
offer, but don't select too quickly 
for in these dim corridors the evil 
Lord has a surprise up his cloak. 

Behind Illusion walls are hid¬ 
den further rooms filled with mon¬ 
sters guarding additional fighters. 
There are two super-heroes to be 
found and they are worth the 
seeking. You must select at least 
one hero from the main prison 




















CAPTIVE CORAEi 


W ater, water everywhere 
and not a drop to drink. 
Unlike the Dungeon Master 
heroes, Captive's droids don't 
need to drink water to keep their 
strength up but they can find 
other uses for it. Water dam¬ 
ages electrical equipment (ask 
any Atari user who has played 
arcade games in the bath!) and 
this fact can be used to your 
advantage. 

Scattered around inside the 
bases are water hydrants which 
can be used to flood surrounding 
area, penning the small metal 
droids into corners where you 
can pick them off with distance 
weapons. 

Of course while your team of 
droids Is operating in the stuff 
they are damaging their own 
feet, so buying each of them a 
pair of cheap human feet which 
they can slip on while paddling Is 
a wise Investment. 

You will also find to your hor¬ 
ror that any shop which has 
water In front of the counter 
poses an extra problem. The 
second you hand over your chest 
for recharging, the water damag¬ 
ing your feet weakens you so 
much that all your bits fall off. 
Ouch! - 

Your best bet in this case is 


to switch on your Anti-grav and do 
your shopping while standing on 
the ceiling. Why not try out this fun 
Idea riext time your find yourself In 
Tesco? 

The really interesting fact asso¬ 
ciated with water is what It does to 
lighting circuits. Hidden circuits 
switch off the lights In some of Cap¬ 
tive’s corridors forcing you to using 


Water, water everywhere. Pick up a few 
watery tips from a soggy bunch of droids 
who have been tramping Captive’s corri¬ 
dors on your behaif. 

the super-visor attachment to 
see where you are going. The 
other option Is to flood the area 
with water and short out the cir¬ 
cuits bringing the main lighting 
back on. 


can come round to my tree-house 
whenever you are ready. 

The bad news is that the 
codes you are seeking cannot be 
found in the game. They are given 
in the booklet which is bought with 
the disk. This is the anti-piracy 
protection to stop naughty spies 
smuggling decadent, western soft¬

After completing the dreaded Ser¬ 
pent Tower in the Bloodwych game 
we swiftly ran to the tower of the 
Moon, but upon inspection we 
found we could go no further. We 
are in a room with two shops and a 
fake wall. 

If we don't find the answer 
soon we will cast ourself into the 
Pit of Ever-lasting Stench. Grant us 
this wish and we will never enter 
your part of The Great Wood 
again. 

Say hello to your owl 
Archimedes for us. Did we see you 
in Sainsburys the other day? 

J. Clarke, C. Jenkins, London 


If you are in the room I think you 
are in there should be a sign 


One day all Personal Nightmare 
fans should get together and mur¬ 
der the author of this game for the 
brain damage he has caused. 

Walk along the street in the 
daytime and note the tree which 
stands in the pavement. Later, 
when the car chases you, you are 
able to dodge along the street 
making the car swerve. 

Lead the car to the tree and - 
BLAT! Search the car to solve the 
garage and the Rose Cottage 
problems. Sharpening the axe 
needs a stone and oil. 

To have the film developed, get 
the Saving Book from inside the 
Treasure Island book in the 
Vicarage bedroom. Then go to the 
Ivy Cottage and get the free vouch¬ 
er from inside the magazine which 
is in the Dark Room. Go to the 
Post Office and use the book to 
buy a stamp. Get an envelope from 
the display stand and ADDRESS 
ENVELOPE. 

Put the film and the voucher in 
the envelope and seal it. Post the 
envelope in the box outside. All this 
has to be done on the day after

Although during World 
War I the combat plane 
was relatively neglected 
from battle its military 
capabilities were never 
forgotten. During that par¬ 
ticular time (1914-1918) 
the aeroplane was mainly 
used for reconnaissance 
and bombing runs by both 
the Allies and the Axis 
although neither of these tactics 
were successful enough to change 


the tide of the war. 

Bombing runs were extremely 
dangerous and often resulted in 
pilots deaths due to heavy flak 
attack and more commonly lack of 
navigation. Therefore, like the tank, 
the aeroplane’s use was limited 
and short lived. Actual aerial 
encounters were extremely rare but 
most were messy and hardly as 
glorious as the reports submitted to 
the public and the war cabinet of 
that time. 





complexity and variety of mission was ft/ 
's strong point. Not only were you require 
} out enemy MiGs, bumiso you had to dot 
f formations, trains amf boats as well as 




Ever since the Amiga’s release to 
the public, flight simulators have 
featured heavily and none more 
than those set within a combat 
environment. The first combat sim¬ 
ulator was Interceptor from Elec¬ 
tronic Arts and was hailed as the 
state of the art in computer simula¬ 
tion. Interceptor set the standard 
that other flight games would fol¬ 
low. 

Many simulators appeared 
thereafter but none really stole the 
limelight in the way that Falcon 
from Spectrum Holobyte did. The 
result of years of research. Falcon 
was bigger, better and more realis¬ 
tic than Interceptor and the sales 
were unbelievable. Presentation 
was superb and the graphics 
amazing with smooth 3D that 
enhanced the feeling of realism. 
Nothing this complex had been 
tackled before and the result was a 
massive success. Falcon would 
hold the number one position for 
some time to come. 

Lucasfilm adopted a different 
approach and decided to tackle 
World war II with Battlehawks 1942 


The 

con's strong point. Not 
take 

tank formations, 
accomplish the customa 


and Battle of Britain. The back¬ 
ground material was easily acces¬ 
sible and the historical events 
already laid out for them to take. 
Battlehawks simulated the Battle of 
Midway and the overall feeling was 
one of sheer excellence. 

The sound effects, graphics 
and presentation were first class 
and the realism had been taken a 
step forward. As with Falcon and 




















































After the war, interest in the 
aeroplane as a fighting machine 
faded and development turned. 
The plane was now seen as a 
means of public transport. This 
became the more popular role and 
is where the aeroplane excelled 
above any other form of transport. 

With the rise of Hitler and the 
imminent troubles that lay ahead, 
the aeroplane was to take on the 
role of a military weapon once 
again. The Nazis' Luftwaffe air 


force was a formidable fighting unit 
and its pure strength was to be dis¬ 
played to the entire world with the 
Blitzkreig of Poland which was to 
be quick and very decisive. Stuka 
dive bombers cleared the way for 
the invasion force while Messer- 
schmitts took out the feeble Polish 
airforce. 

Eventually the World was 
thrown into a terrible World War, a 
fate that could never have hap¬ 
pened again after World War I. For 



the aeroplane, the war was a great 
success and it now adopted a pre¬ 
dominant role that was to shape 
the outcome of events. 

The first real aerial conflict took 
place above the South of England 
in a battle etched into the hearts of 
those who were there at that time, 
the Battle of Britain. Most of the 
action took place during the 
months of July to September in 
1940 and it was at this time of the 
war that the most intensive aerial 
campaign ever was staged. 

The RAF took to the skies in 
order to intercept the German 
Bomber formations and their fighter 
escort. The skies were a mish 
mash of aeroplanes, some falling, 
others exploding. Those that made 
it back were the lucky ones. 

Two fighter planes emerged as 
the most creditable of the conquest 
and these were the Supamarine 
Spitfire and Messerschmitt Bf 109. 
Both were fighters and both were 
closely matched in speed, arma¬ 
ment and manoeuvrability. Unfortu¬ 
nately for the Luftwaffe, the Spitfire 



took the edge and the result of the 
battle rested heavily on its suc¬ 
cesses. The importance of the 
aeroplane had now been fully 
recognised. 

After the Battle of Britain, aerial 
conflicts were so numerous that 
none really stood out against oth¬ 
ers, except one and this was the 
Battle of Midway which took place 
over the sea. After World War II the 
plane became the jet fighter, faster 
and much more deadly. The future 
for the fighter was now secure.

Interceptor, the planes of that day 
didn’t come with radar and laser- 
guided missiles. A machine gun 
was the weapon of the day and 
you had to be up close to use it. 
This difference in tactics became 
the major attraction of Battlehawks 
1942 and the Battle of Britain. 

The next simulation to take the 
stage was F-16 Combat Pilot from 
masters of simulation. Digital Inte¬ 




Although the majority of the game revolves around the Spitfire and FI6 tackled night flying in a very serious way and instead of just 

Messerschmitt, Battle of Britain also includes the bombers. darkening the sky they incorporated an infra-red heads-up-display. 


gration. Although at first heralded 
as one of the best, F-16 failed to 
get the acclaim it so rightly 
deserved. 

This was pure simulation, more 
so than Falcon, and therefore many 
could not handle the plane and 
interest waned. Features included 
an Amiga to Amiga link, also 
included with Falcon, and night fly¬ 
ing which had never been tackled 
before and which enhanced the 
game’s overall appeal tenfold. 
Comparing Falcon and F-16 Com¬ 
bat Pilot now it is obvious that F-16 
is the superior of the two. How 
unfortunate it was that this excel¬ 
lent product missed the glory. 

With Fighter Bomber and MiG- 
29 now available, the choice for the 


Amiga flying ace is one of confu¬ 
sion. Falcon is the obvious choice 
and deserves acclaim. But spare a 
thought for three products that 
have made more impact on flight 
simulation on the Amiga than any 


other. What are these three? Test 
fly Battlehawks 1942, Battle of 
Britain and F-16 Combat Pilot. 
They are definitely the best of all 
simulators although F-16 may 
prove just too hard to land. Shame! 

FI6 Combat Pilot, 
being more true to 
simulation, suf¬ 
fered from one 
major upset - it 
was very difficult 
to land the plane 
after each mis¬ 
sion. This turned a 
lot of players 
away from the 
game. Otherwise, 
F-16 is probably 
the best sim ever 
on the Amiga.

1 1) F-16 COMBAT PILOT: 

! Complex HUD with night vision. 

2) FALCON: HUD with excel¬ 
lent weapons ranging. 

3) MIG-29 FULCRUM: Basic 
HUD that isn’t very clear at all. 


HUD is in fact short for Heads Up Display. The HUD 
is a computer controlled targeting and navigation sys¬ 
tem that is beamed into a computer screen in front of 
the pilot. Looking at the HUD will inform the pilot of 
everything he needs to know about the condition of 
his aircraft, his present course and his targeting con¬ 


dition. When he intercepts an enemy craft the HUD 
system automatically finds the target and locks onto 
it. The missiles follow this lock when fired. The HUD 
is effectively a co-pilot. If the HUD is destroyed 
through combat or malfunction then the pilot can 
always resort to his main instrument panel. 




Obviously, a pilot would be pretty 
blind if the only view he had of 
his world was the view to the 
front of the cockpit. Therefore 
most simulators incorporate left, 
right and rear views so that you 
can watch out for enemy craft or 
incoming*" missiles. With each 
new simulation, the views 


change somewhat in detail 
although F-16 Combat Pilot and 
Falcon are very similar due to the 
planes being almost the same. 

Unfortunately, MiG-29 does not 
have the cockpit diagram when 
looking left, right and back and this 
does effect the realism consider¬ 
ably. With F-16 and Falcon, the left 


view contains the throttle control 
and secondary instrument panel 
while the right contains the warn¬ 
ing indicators and bearing capsule. 
The only information a Spitfire pilot 
had was contained in the main 
cockpit display but the rear view 
mirror was very useful to keep an 
eye out for incoming Messer- 


schmitts. The bomber views from 
Battle of Britain are fairly numer¬ 
ous. As well as the front, left, 
right and rear views their are also 
the gunner seats. Obviously, the 
number of gunner positions 
depends on the type of bomber 
being flown but most contain a 
nose, left, right and tail seat. 

The most important view of 
the bomber is the bomb bay win¬ 
dow. From here the bombadier 
can tell when and where to drop 
his bombs.

F-16 COMBAT PILOT

MIG-29 FULCRUM 


BATTLE OF BRITAIN 


The first thing any Amiga pilot wants to dabble 
in is the combat situation. He doesn’t care how 
to fly his bird at first but just wants to take out 
an enemy craft. For the recent aeroplanes, like 
Falcon and F-16 the task of jumping in at the 
deep end is a little more difficult as you need to 
become acquainted with the HUD. 

Once you understand this important sys¬ 
tem of your plane you will get to grips with the 
dynamics of combat. Your main directives are 
to seek out the enemy, lock onto them, destroy 
them and then get the hell out of there. Howev- 


_Leading edge flap 


Before you can take your bird up you will need to become 
familiar with all the aspects of flying. It is alright taking 
off without being fully accustomed to the aerodynamics 
of the plane you are in but you’ll soon find yourself in 
trouble when it comes to landing safely.

er, the missiles of modern day fighters are 
extremely fast and very accurate. Even if you 
do m anage to take out the enemy you may 
find yourself losing your HUD, landing gears, 
weapons stores or any other multitude of 
things. 

With the World War II planes combat is 
easier to master but harder to fulfill. You can’t 
lock on a missile from 10 miles away .and be 
guaranteed of a sure hit. To make a success¬ 
ful kill you’ve got to get right up to the enemy 
and blast their plane away with a cannon. 

Regularly, you will find yourself running 
out of ammo and becoming the target of 
enemy venom. Combat with the modern jets is 
fairly quick and clean but the dogfights of 
World War II could last for ages. 


There are many combat manoeuvers 
to be learnt and each one should be 
practised. Here we see the scissors 
approach in action. The enemy 
twists and turns but the F’16 turns 
Into his opponent’s evasive actions 
and bears down on his prey. 


Suiting 


The essential part of flying is learning how to control 
your plane. Remember, if you climb too high and hold 
your course then your speed will drop and you may stall.

The key to your briefing is learning to use the icons correctly. From the main briefing 
screen you will have the options to change your plane and select the weapons you 
wish to load your bird up with. As well as the weapons you can also change your way- 
points. Waypoints are your ticket to your destinations. They are plotted lines between 
several points. These are loaded up into the jet’s computer fly-by-wire system which 
then instructs the pilot of the next waypoint bearing and ETA. Any mission intelligence 


is open to you and this information gathered by clicking on the I icon. New reports and 
any hints of sighted enemy activity will be shown to you. General intelligence consists 
of information about the actual and the kind of terrain you will be travelling across. If 
you are not to keen on your mission then you can^ change it and you also have the 
opportinity the change plane types. Once you are happy with your choices you can 
select the briefing and then ok at which point you will be taken to your plane. 


You realise that you are on a colli¬ 
sion heading. If you are to win this 
confrontation you’ll need to main¬ 
tain concentration and fly like never 
before. The range decreases. He 
gets his shot off first and you feel 
cannon shells bouncing off the 
wings. Performing the same 
actions, you press on the cannon 
switch and release a burst of bul¬ 
lets which dance across his plane 
before tearing into the cockpit. The 
enemy plane turns away just in 
time and then dives to the sea. The 
mission is over and you are still 
alive. Your pride has been dented 
but you survived and that’s what 
counts. 

And that’s what it’s all about. 
Flight of the Intruder not only fea¬ 
tures the Intruder but the Phantom 




as well and both have been repre¬ 
sented in glorious 3D. 

You sign on at the log screen 
where you are placed as a rookie 
although this can be changed if you 
think you can handle the harder 
missions. From here you will be 
given a mission briefing and the 
option to arm your plane and set 
waypoints for the mission ahead. 

The plane can be handled 
through mouse and joystick 
although mouse is a little over 
responsive. The forward, left, right 
and back views have all been 
included as well as forwards left 
and right and back left and right 
which gives a greater field of vision. 
External views are also available. 

There are several different mis¬ 
sions to choose from and each 
includes fighter interception as well 
as bombing runs. The 
Intruder is used pri¬ 
marily for fighter 
interception and 
the Phantom for bombing mis¬ 
sions although both are flexible in 
each other’s scenarios. 



If you complete your mission 
successfully you must return to 
base where your record will be 
updated and any medals pinned to 
your chest. Your record is the key 
to your advancement. 

As you become more proficient 
in your missions and you rise in 
rank the harder the mission will 
become. The realism factor will 


also change and you will not be 
able to land at a 45 degree angle 
so you will need to be careful. 

As with all good simulations an 
Amiga to Amiga 
link has also been 
included which is 
great fun. What 
more could you 
want?

hi. t 


The Fun levels are really easy to beat and don’t pose many problems, but when you try the 
Mayhem levels you get quite a shock. Here we see the lemmings falling to their death as 
soon as they enter the level. What can you do? 



Some games rely on a two player mode to make them enjoyable. Even though Lemmings 
has one, the one player mode is more than enough. 



Aaah! Lemmings 
are such cute little 
animals. Even 
though they are 
related to creatures 
such as rats which, 
are usually feared by even the 
toughest among us, they are 
viewed in a totally different concept. 
But as lovable as these creatures 
may be, they aren’t too bright. Each 
year they all jog down to a handy 
rock and hurl themselves off, usual¬ 
ly to their deaths. 

Well, rfow’s your chance to 
save these rodents thanks to ttie 
genius of DMA Design. They were 
the people responsible for the 
amazing Blood Money which still 
ranks high in the shoot’em-up 
charts today. 

The idea is to 
prevent the suicidal 
rodents from walking 
into some cruel trap or 
falling to their death from a 
high mountain peak. However, 
stopping them isn’t that easy 
because you can’t actually control 


them directly. They simply walk 
around, only changing direction if 
something is in their way. 

All you have to help them find 
their way to the exit tunnel and 
safety is a set of skills that you can 
bestow on them. There are eight 
different skills in all, each enabling 
a lemming to do a particular thing 
to help get his friends to the exit 
tunnel. 

Their are four difficulty levels to 
choose from which start off at Fun 
(easy) and end up with Mayhem 
(very hard). Their are 30 games in 
each difficulty level making a total 
of 120 in all. Once a level is beaten 
you are given a code so that you 
don’t have to play it again if you 
don’t want to. 

Although you wouldn’t think so 
at first the pause is 
an important part of 
the game. It enables you 
to stop the action and view 
the level at any point so you 
can work out what course you 
should be taking or what traps to 
avoid. 





Traps are many 
in the various 
levels of Lem¬ 
mings and If you 
don’t keep a 
careful watch on 
things you’ll find 
that your lem¬ 
ming population 
will dwindle 
quickly as they 
walk straight into 
the simplest trap. 





















H a lam- 

ming is falling to his 
death a quick acti- 
, vation of this icon 
j will provide him 
with an umbrella 
and prevent a rather 
messy death. 


Climbs any

the level. 


you need to

simply get rid 
of a blocker, 
clicking this 
Icon will strap 
a bomb to the 
lemming with 
a five second

him. Good for 


mings from 
falling off cliffs. 


When we reviewed Chip’s Challenge last 
issue we thought that it wouid be a iong 
time before anything would top it. But Lem¬ 
mings has accomplished that task. It is 
absolutely amazing while being very origi¬ 
nal. It reminds me of the sort of addictive 
games that we used to play on the C64. The 
sound is good and adds a lot of humour, 
while the graphics, although not top quality, 
work very well and are more than adequate. 
Whatever type of game you enjoy you’ll 
enjoy Lemmings, totally amazing. 


A bit 

tough this one. 
If something 
gets in his way 
this little chap 
will clench his 
fists and 
smash his way 
though to the 
other side.

And even when (or if) you’ve 
beaten all the 120 levels there’s 
still more to the game. If you wish 
you can play against a friend in a 
head to head battle. Here the 
gameplay changes dramatically as 
you try to save your lemmings from 
doom as usual, but at the same 
time you must try to sabotage your 
opponent’s lemmings. 


The game is totally icon driven 
with only the mouse needed to play 
it. It does get very tough and the 
quicker you are with the mouse the 
better. Save your 
lemmings from 
destruction. If you 
don’t they will be 
nuked right in front 
of your eyes! 


OVERALL 
SCO RE 




A map in the bottom right hand corner of the screen lets you know what’s happening in 
other parts of the level that you can’t see. Very handy! 
































































Pro Tennis Tour 
has been around 
for some time and 
has a reputation for 
being a worthy ten¬ 
nis simulator. The 
sequel, named, erm. Pro Tennis 
Tour 2, has appeared from UBI 
Soft and it expands on the original 
somewhat. 

Before you even pick up the 
racquet and pretend to play your 
favourite song on an electric guitar 
you can adjust the settings of your 
game. Do you want to play on 
grass, concrete or clay? Male or 
Female players? Just one set or an 
entire tournament? 

You may either play all on your 
own (Oooer) or invite your mates 
around and using a joystick 
adapter have up to four playing at 
the same time (Oooer again). If 
you know someone who is a loud¬ 
mouthed yob and claims to be 
twice as good as everybody else 
you can make them prove it by 
arranging a two against one match. 

As well as altering the sex of 
the players you can also adjust the 
characteristics of each individual. 
Forehand, backhand, power, ser¬ 
vices and underwear can all be 
changed to suit your playing style. 
Practice will increase your ratings 
with every shot that you make 
taken in to consideration. And 
when you switch off your computer 
does all your hard work go down 
the lavy? No, you can save your 
best players on to a disk allowing 



you to return to 
them the next time 
you play. 

The action starts 
when you step on to the 
court; The crowd starts to 
shout your name before you 
have even hit the ball (in your 
dreams!). Serving is achieved by 
positioning a target where you want 
the ball to land and then hitting the 
fire button. If the other player 
cheats and manages to return one 
of your shots you must quickly 
intercept the ball. 

By moving the joystick in the 
appropriate direction you can direct 
your hits. Success at these fancy 
shots vary with the skills of each 
player - an experienced player will 
be able to influence each shot more 
than somebody who has never 



picked up a racquet 
before. 

Gaining the 
privilege to hold the gold¬ 
en cup aloft as the crowd 
loudly applaude will take split 
second timing and fast thinking. 

For the winner there is glory for 
the loser there is 
only death! Actua!- 
ly that !ast bit is a 
fib but it made the 
finishing paragraph 
more exciting!

PRO TENNIS TOUR 2 

UBI SOFT E24.99 
TEAK; BLUE BKTE 



Pro Tennis Tour 2 isn’t radicaiiy different 
from the other games of the same genre, but 
it does add more options. The animation on 
the characters is exempiary and in generai 
aii round presentation is good. Sound is the 
weakest part of the game but is stili ade¬ 
quate. The piethora of options is amazing - 
I can’t think of anything that has been 
missed. Whether you fancy just hitting the 
bait around for a bit of fun or want to get 
some practice in for Wimbtedon, this is the 
game for you.

Just one of the many options screens. You 
can adjust the skiiis of each piayer to suit 
your individual playing style. If you think 
you have got a future champion you can 
save the player to disk for future games. 



After selecting a basic character you can 
build up your skills using the training 
mode. The machine can be programmed to 
set up the type of shot that you want to 
practice or can be set on random. 



By using an adapter you can have upto four 
players on the court. Team work and coor¬ 
dination will increase your chances of vic¬ 
tory and the losers can have a good argu¬ 
ment over whose fault it was.

I'LL BE JUST P 
FEN MINUTES...

i! 



Talk about clones! But even though it is a 
copy of Narc, it is slightly better than the 
Ocean game. Here you see Luke taking his 
rocket launcher for a walk in the city’s ghetto. 


Most of the scenery in the game can be used 
as a shield against the enemy’s fire, but on 
the other hand you can blow it away and 
sometimes unveil hidden extras. 


Things had been 
getting bad in the 
city these last few 
months. Even 
when Luke was in 
the force himself 
drugs and crime had 
been a problem, but 
never to this extent. 
Organised crime had 
risen dramatically, and 
it all seemed to lead 
back to one man - the 
King Pin. But he was 
clever and made sure that 
he kept a safe distance 
from the men that did his 
dirty work. 

It was early morning, and Luke 
had just risen from bed after a late 
night. He grabbed some food from 
the fridge and turned on the news. 
His attention was soon caught by a 
a news flash. The King Pin had kid¬ 
napped the President’s daughter. 
This was the final straw. It was time 
for Luke McCabe to go vigilante. 

Crime Wave is a good old 
shoot’em-up where you shoot at 
anything that moves, and if it 
doesn’t move you shoot it until it 
does. The game is a very close 
clone to the arcade game Narc, 
and previously released by Ocean 
(reviewed last issue). 


Playing the part of Luke 
McCabe, a man who has decided 
to take the law into his own hands, 
you must attempt to put a stop to 
the crime boss - the King Pin. This 
mission will take Luke through a 
selection of the city’s poorer areas, 
and within these suburbs are drug 
factories filled to the brim with the 
King Pin’s men, all with the orders 
“Shoot to kill". 

However, Luke is not totally 
defenceless. When he starts off he 
is equipped with a gun and an 
awesome rocket launcher to deal 
with the gangs of criminals. Both 
weapons can be controlled with a 
joystick by holding down the fire- 
button for a certain amount of time 
(a quick press for the rockets, a 
long one for the machine gun). 

But as powerful as these 
weapons are they don’t last forever 
and you’ll need to collect extra 
ammo as you go along. This is 
made slightly easier by special 
bonus rooms that can be found on 
some levels. Inside these rooms is 
a large supply of ammo for both 
weapons, as well 
a load of money 
and drugs that will 
increase your 
score when col¬ 
lected.

CRIME WAVE 

U.S.G0UI £24.99 
TEAM: ACCESS 



We reviewed Narc last month, and wonder 
why anyone would want to bring out a simi¬ 
lar game. But even though Crime Wave isn’t 
that brilliant, it is siightiy better than Narc. 
The controls are hard to contend with and 
don’t improve as you get used to them. The 
game stows down when you start pumping 
butlets out ieft right and centre. The game- 
play itself isn’t that great, and I found that I 
could do almost as well when I walked 
through a level without bothering to fire the 
gun once. Not a game I wouid recommend.

A) Chaos ’hordes gathered at the 
base of Anaias, the home of the Dark 
Lord. The sky darkens, and lightning 
starts to crack above. This is the 
beginning of something cataclysmic. 

B) Atop Anaias, a huge green 
dragon, perhaps Chaos ' personal mes¬ 
senger, circles the dominating moun¬ 
tain before swooping down inside the 
crater. 

C) Something evil stirs inside. A 
foul plot is being devised by the Dark 
Lord himself, and soon the Grey Lord 
will once again fear the presence of 
the great evil one.

D) Lava can be seen illumi¬ 
nating the twisted interior of Mount 
Anaias, and from a portal comes 
Chaos himself. Using his powers, 
he begins building the dungeon 
into which you will soon enter. 

E) The Corbum created within 
a forge hotter than any Dragon’s 
fire, is the source of Chaos’power. 
This mana-sapping ore is going to 
be the downfall of the Lord Libra- 
sufus. 

F) The Corbum is placed deep 
within the bowels of the Dungeon 
on four altars, each surrounded by 
a field of pits. Only the best cham¬ 
pions will managed to dispose of 
the ore in the FUL YA pit in which 
they made. 



























(Right) Each character 
can carry up to 17 items 
in his backpack, plus 
extra pockets and 
chests that can be 
found throughout the

everything adds up to

speed and movement.

The challenge set by Chaos is a tough one and it is more than likely that one of your party 
will meet his maker. However, remember to pick up the remains, as an Altar of Rebirth can 
be found at each of the four ways. 

Before long, you will come across 
- the the 

Ways. Down each of the four paths 
lies a piece of Corbum, but before 

you can reach the ore, you’ll be Hf • 7J^^^VM||TTjTT

(Left inset) Combining both 
strategy and arcade ele¬ 
ments. the full game has 
nine different scenarios to 
conquer. On top of this, you 
can also create your own 
game using the scenario 
editor supplied. 


(Main picture) The depths of space provide the perfect battle ground. Star Control fea¬ 
tures 14 ships to pilot, each with its own special ability and differing statistics. 


The Ur-Quan Hier¬ 
archy, an ancient 
race who are the 
ancestors of the 
Ur-Quan slaves 
and their minions, 
are about to attack the Alliance of 
Free Star, the result being total 
annihilation in favour of the Ur- 
Quans. 

Although the Alliance have 
been trying to negotiate with the 
Hierarchy, all attempts have been 
ignored to the point that three rep¬ 
resentatives were slain at a series 
of talks. If the Hierarchy were to 
succeed in overthrowing the 
Alliance, the triumph would be dis¬ 
astrous. 

It appears the Alliance have 
come to us for help, and if we don’t 
help them the Hierarchy could easi¬ 
ly crush us underfoot when the 
time is right. We must act with 
aggression, we must act now. 

Star Control is basically a 
game of starship combat. There 
are two sides, the Hierarchy and 
the Alliance, each with a total of 
seven different ships at their dis¬ 
posal. Each ship has its own spe¬ 
cial power, and this can be any¬ 
thing from regenerating the crew to 
engaging a cloaking device. 

Star Control requires 1 meg to 
run, and can be controlled through 
either joystick or keyboard. There 
are three modes to play: practice, 
melee or full battle. The practice is 
a simple one-on-one battle 
between two ships of your choice. 
You can choose to play against a 
friend or the computer. A melee 
places you in control of the seven 
ships that make up the Alliance or 
Ur-Quan, the aim being to be the 
last survivor. 

The full game is a battle of 
strategy and arcade. The computer 
can aid you here, because if you 
select a Cyborg as your control, the 


computer will fight your battles. 
Choose a Psytron and the comput¬ 
er will choose your tactics. There is 
a selection of missions to under¬ 
take, but most require the total 
destruction of the enemy side. Nor¬ 
mally you’ll begin with a small num¬ 
ber of ships in your battalion, but 
using your star 
base, you can 
build more, provid¬ 
ing you have the 
materials and 
enough Starbucks!

To look at Star Control you wouldn’t think \ 
that it would require 1 meg but sadly it 
does. The gameplay is addictive, but does 
tend to become repetitive after numerous 
battles. The option to use computer aid in 
both battles and tactics is excellent, and so 
Is the Inclusion of the scenario editor. The 
graphics are eye-catching, and the sound, 
most of which is sampled, is also of an 
equally high standard. With all this said. 
Star Control is a brilliant game to begin 
with but unfortunatley tends to lose its 
appeal after a while due to lack of variation 
in the levels.

The edit program contained on the Hard Drivin’ li program disk is 
extremely powerful if a little user unfriendly. The pieces are picked 
from the selection box which displays each segment or object in 
true 3D. By clicking on ‘Take It’, the piece is placed onto the track. 
All further pieces join onto the last one. There are several different 
portions of track including curves, banked curves, junctions, 
straights, loops, bridges and dips. The objects include cows, start 
grids, finishing posts, houses, barns and signposts. Once a track 
has been created it can be saved and used later on. 




Hard Drivin’ took 
the Amiga games 
scene by storm 
and many were 
amazed that the 
arcade conversion 
was ever written. Featuring full 3D 
graphics with reality perspective, it 
became the number one arcade 
conversion of 1990. Unfortunately, 
it did suffer from a lack of speed 
and the control method was very 
awkward and unresponsive. 

With the advent of Hard Drivin’ 
li, all this has been changed. The 
graphics are still in 
glorious 3D but the 
speed has been 
improved and the 
overall feel is one of 
greater realism. 

Once again, you must 
leap into your sporty car and 
take on some of the best stunt 
drivers around. The task will not be 
easy and each of the four courses 
will require total concentration and 
skill if you are to be successful. 

As soon as your car is lowered 
to the road the race begins. All 
your opponents tear away from the 
start position and as you press 
hard on the accelerator your car 
also skids away from the grid. The 
first segment of the 
track is a long straight that gives all 
the cars time to accelerate to full 
speed. This is the best time to 
overtake and you swiftly pass three 



of the opposition but as you are 
about to take the fourth the road 
splits into two paths. One leads to 
the speed track, the other to the 
stunt section. 

Avoiding the stunt track for as 
long as possible you decide to 
enter the speed section of the 
course. Once again the road 
straightens and your vehicle hits 
lOOmph. The barriers forewarn of 
the impending banked curve and 
you ease back on the throttle. As 
you hit the curve the world outside 
rotates to 90 degrees and you feel 
as if the car is going 
to topple over but 
you manage to keep 
•your control. 

Straight from 
the speed track you decide 
to enter the stunt race. You 
know of the hazards but have 
never actually attempted the 
stunt segments yourself. The draw¬ 
bridge is pretty easy and the car 
floats over the gap and lands safely 
on the other side without a scratch. 
But before you can congratulate 
yourself you see the massive struc¬ 
ture - the loop the loop. Gritting 
your teeth you hope for the best. 

The car slams into the loop and 
there is a terrific crunch as every¬ 
thing around you becomes a blur. 
You try desperately to keep to the 
centre lane markings but just as 
you begin to hit the straight on the 
other side the car flips out and you 


lose control before ditching it on the 
embankment. Gathering your sens¬ 
es you wipe the visor and glance at 
the clock. 3...2...1 ...0... The race is 
over for you but with a little more 
practice who knows? You may 
even get a chance at racing the 
Photon Phantom. 

You can edit your own tracks. 
Pieces are taken from the stores 
and slotted into each other. You 
can choose curves, straights, 
bridges, crossovers, hills, barns 
and loop the loops. Once you have 
created the design 
you must place the 
start, end and 
checkpoint on the 
track as well as the 
other cars. 



DRAWBRIDGE: Probably tbe 
hardest of all slunts. Make 
sure you pay strict attention 
to the speed signs. 



You can make your tracks as hard or as sinh 
pie as you like with all the different track 
sections available. The simple ones range

The graphics and the controls of Hard Driv¬ 
in’ were siow and unresponsive. Fortunateiy, 
ali this has been rectified with the sequei 
and is therefore very enjoyable. The graph¬ 
ics are of a very high standard and move 
fast considering aii the detaii that is being 
moved in 3D. Sound is a littie iack iuster 
and is more iike an ST than an Amiga which 
is not a reai disappointment, i think the only 
real problem with the game is the fact that 
there is a severe iack of new ideas which 
may put off owners of the originai game.

^JAGE 1: The first loop is com¬ 
pleted and a bridge is placed. 
STAGE 2: The first straight 


appears right after the bridge. 
STAGE 3: The first two stages 
are replicated on the other side 
of the track. 

STAGE 4: All that is left is a hill 
which joins the ends together. 



HILL: The hill is the largest 
section of track and although 
it looks easy to take if you hit 
it too fast you will crash. 


UNDERPASS: Take the under¬ 
pass too fast and your car will 
take off and come down nose 
first. Attempt the underpass at 
a reasonable speed. 


CROSSOVER: If another car is 
about to use the crossover at 
the moment you are then pre¬ 
pare yourself for impact. 


■^f^long hills, underpasses, straights, 

^ b^s and tight junctions while the complex 
'^f^pde bridges and the large loop the loop. 



When taking the bridge you must make 
certain that you keep to the speed restric¬ 
tion warnings otherwise you will crash. 


Although pretty ominious visually, the 
banked curve is fairly simple to pass 
across. Your main worry is the other cars. 


Of all the stunt hazards the hardest to 
negotiate is the loop. It requires great skill 
as it actually twists while it is looping. 


As well as the segment sections there are also objects which can be used to smarten up the completed track and add more realism. A 
barn or house can make a lot of difference as can an overpass. Certain objects are essential such as the start and finish light. Without 
these you could be travelling around the track forever. Who knows? You may even bump into one of the farmers prize cows. Mooo!

You start the race in last position. The cars 
in front are all fairly slow and should 
therefore prove no problem when overtak¬ 
ing. But beware, as you may just overtake 
and career into an oncoming lorry. Ail the 
controls you will need to handle your vehi¬

for those who haven’t quite had enough

SHOOT 'EM-UP 



The Resistance are 
about to mount a 
major offensive 
against the Empire. 
Several starships 
have been cap¬ 
tured and the Resistance intend to 
use these to attack vital Empire 
installations. But as the ships lack 
essential Klystron power pods, 
they are effectively useless. 

Using a small and lightly armed 
ship you must attempt to steal the 
vital Klystron pods from Empire 
storage planets. A tractor beam 
mounted on the ship will enable 
you to hook up to the power pods 
and then take them to the Resis¬ 
tance. 

Your ship materialises above 
the storage planet you are about to 
explore and immediately nature 
starts to make life difficult - gravi¬ 
ty continuously drags your 
ship toward the 
ground. I 
the 



thrusters on your ship you can 
counter this force, allowing you to 
stay airborne. Rotating your ship 
will give you movement, allowing 
you to explore the planet for the 
elusive Klystron pods. 

The first levels are straightfor¬ 
ward, allowing you to get used to 
the craft, but after the initial period 
of respite things get really tough. 
Precise control is required when 
navigating the underground cav¬ 
erns. When the Empire start using 
their laser cannons to eliminate you 
not only do you have to be exact 
with your controls but you have to 
think fast to avoid the deadly bolts 
of energy. 

For the defence of your ship it 
is provided with a plasma blaster. It 
is also equipped with a laser scan¬ 
ner. This will scan a laser in front of 
you, destroying everything it 
touches. Rotating 
your ship while 
activating the laser 
will destroy any 
objects in the vicinity. 
The drawback is that each 
weapon uses up more of 
your fuel and when that 
runs out gravity will win. 

Collecting the Klystron pods is 
your main objective. Once you 
have located a pod you should 



hover above it. Then when you 
activate the tractor beam it will rise 
toward you until it touches your 
ship and is locked on via a towing 
cord. All you have to do then is 
return to the Resistance mother- 
ship. This isn’t as easy as it 
sounds. The newly found power 
pod weighs your ship down and 
swings about like a pendulum mak¬ 
ing control even trickier. 

After finding the Klystron pod 
you must move on to the next plan¬ 
et and an even tougher challenge. 
Success will mean that the Resis¬ 
tance will be able to launch a sur¬ 
prise attack on the 
Empire command 
centre, therefore 
gaining an insur¬ 
mountable advan¬ 
tage on the enemy. 




The Empire has scattered the Klystron 
throughout the galaxy. Having ventured 
down a dead end you are now being threat¬ 
ened by a battery of three laser turrets. 



ACTION INFO 

ZARATHRUSTA 

HEWSON £24.99 
TEAM; WHIZ KIDZ 




Zarathrusta will bring tears to the eyes of 
seasoned gamers as they remember the 
good old days long ago, when they stayed 
up all night playing Thrust. Like Olds, from 
not too many moons ago, Zarathrusta 
draws its inspiration from this golden 
oldie. Keeping your craft from touching the 
ground while trying to manoeuver inside 
the caverns and avoiding the enemy lasers 
is very hard. You will spend a lot of the 
time as a ball of flame. Unless you are a 
fan of Thrust or Oids I recommend that you 
try this one before you buy. 





The lack of obstacles and opposition on the first level allows you to get used to the con¬ 
trol system. Using thpf^usters on your ship you must manoeuver close to the tower and 
then collect the capsule resting on top with your factor beam. 



1) YOUR SHIP: The fastest 
ship in the whole galaxy. 

Well actually I’m lying, it’s a 
flying dustbin. 

2) SCORE SO FAR: At the 
moment it’s pretty crap, but 
that’s because I’m not using a 
cheat mode. 

3) FUEL LEFT: Keep an eye 
on this, especially with the 
price of petrol going up, up, 
up. 

4) SHIPS LEFT: Things are 
looking pretty sorry, four 
ships are already on the 
scrap heap. 


5) LASER TURRET: These 
guys have got to fulfil their 
bodycount quota and you’re 
next on the list. 

6} REACTOR VENTS: At ran¬ 
dom intervals these will blast 
out flames and fry anything 
nearby. 

7) PNUEMATIC RAMS: These 
wait for ships to stray close 
by then crunch them into little 
pieces. 

8) STORAGE TANKS: These 
can be plundered for extra 
fuel, very handy if you are fly¬ 
ing on fumes. 



The Electro Ball can be used as an effec¬ 
tive shield or weapon as it destroys 
everything on contact. There is a draw¬ 
back though - as the ball rotates its 
weight pulls your ship with it making 
control of your craft much harder.

Flight Of The Intruder takes you into the deadliest air combat environment the world has ever known 
- the skies above North Vietnam. 


In 1972, the USAF launched Operation Linebacker. US forces and their South Vietnamese allies are 
locked in a life and death struggle with the fanatical North Vietnamese Army. You must stem the tide 
of the North Vietnamese offensive by cutting its vital lifeline to its front line troops. 

From the US Carriers in the Gulf of Tonkin on “Yankee Station", you must attack a variety of 
installations defended by surface to air missiles and the MiG fighters of the skillful and determined 
North Vietnamese Air Force. 




Flight 


Only team work will get you back alive. The “IRON HAND" flights must destroy or suppress the 
surface to air missiles whilst CombaLAir Patrol aircraft circle high above the strike force looking out 

trike ai 


for enemy aircralL 
arms and 
it 


aircraft must find and attack the target braving a hail of small 
at low level. Individual survival is not the only measure of success, 
as a whole that counts - there is no place for seekers of individual glory.^

^ ' To keep consistent with previous Amiga Action 
competitions, we have decided to offer you an 
. .' X amazing prize that defeats all others in greatness. 

‘What could possibly be better than the previous 
compo prizes?’ I hear you ask. 

Well, Mirrorsoft have decided that they will reward the winner of this 
month’s compo with 10 flying lessons from their nearest flying school. 
r Wow! What more could you want? A Flight of the Intruder T-shirt and free 
game of the same name? Greedy beggars. Okay, Mirrorsoft will also provide a 
T-shirt and a copy of the game to 10 runners-up just to keep you happy. 


Amiga Action has dacicM lb ciit down 

and ^come up with someth!^ a little 
original and taxing for our readers. As Flight 
of the Intruder is the big release this month, 
we want you to design a fighter jet of the 
future. You don’t need to be a Vincent Van 
Gogh just someone with a vivid imagination. 

The more realistic the picture the better but 
we want you to arm it with weapons. 

~~ Unfortunately, that’s not all we want you to ~ 
do! To the right there are two piccies from 
Flight of the Intruder. They may look the same 
but picture B is different in 10 ways. Ring the 
differences and send it in with your entry form 
and drawing. Make sure that your entries con- " 
tain your name and address so that we can 
contact you if needs be. 


All entries must be sent to the following hor¬ 
rendously long address. Here goes:

active Publishing, Europe House, Adlington,

dosh on m» new house (and I'm now shini) I’uo onip lust had enough time to chose down the tips. But thanhs 
to pour help end rue managed to get the odd pint in hero and mare (and lust ahout euerpwhere actuaiip). 
But enough oi mo biurbing on. Hero's the hints and tips - nope mop help pou. 


Here’s a nice easy one to help 
you blast your way to Rainbow 
Arts’ mega shoot’em-up. While 
playing the game hold down J 
at any point, press 1-6 and 
instantly your fairy godmother 
will transport you to the respec¬ 
tive level. 

On top of this you can also 
press the keys 1 to 3 on the 
numeric keypad to skip to the 
three different stages of the 
level you are presently on. 


CAR-VUP 


While playing this rather addictive little game our resident sex symbol 
Jason Simmons has managed to pull himself away from chatting up 
the girls at McDonalds to find out a few codes for it. If you get on to the 
high score table enter the following codes to get some handy affects: 
WHOOPSIE - start off on the prehistoric level. 

PUSSYCAT - receive nine lives. How nice! 

BUMPER - give your car infinite bumper. 


CAPTIVE 




wm 1 


pr ^ -'■y f 


I’ve had loads and loads and loads of people 
ringing me up and sending letters pleading 
with me for help at the very beginning of Cap¬ 
tive. 

Well, the problem really lies in the lack of 
information In the instructions really. Every¬ 
body has managed to get Into the base (even 
if they don’t know it) - the room with the dyna¬ 
mite in it, but no further. All you have to do Is 
go right up to the far wall and click the forward 
movement with the right mouse button. Hey 
presto the wall has been pushed forward. 
Enjoy the game. 


NARCO POLICE 


Although I didn’t like the game much it was quite 
popular in the office. However, it is quite tricky 
and Jason (a big fan) had quite a few problems 
(but then again he’s rubbish at games, only jok¬ 
ing Jason). Anyhow with the leg pulling over 
here are some codes that D.M.R. of the good 
old USA has managed to find: pretty clever con¬ 
sidering they’re In Spanish, that is I think they 
are! 


GREIHLIflSIl 


Bi!!y has really got his hands full this time, but with you at the controls nothing can stop 
him. Well, not with this cheat it can’t. Have a go at the game and if you get your name on 
the high score table enter your name as Sinatra and you’ll have infinite lives the next time 
you play. Thanks very much to S. Lalies of Newport for that lovely jubbly little cheat. 


MUNICION: Boost your ammo up to 200. 
NOAMETZ#: Turn off the machine guns. Put the 
number of the sector where the # is. 

NOCAMZ#: Turn back on the machine guns. 
Remember the sector number. 

NOENEMIG: Get rid of the enemies. 
COMENZAR: Bring them back if the game gets 
boring. 

ABRIR: Open any security doors. 


ACTION FIGHTER 




^ nbmR 


Richard Holmes of Tren- 
tham is responsible for the 
next cheat. If you’ve had 
the misfortune to play this 
game and couldn’t get very 
far then this should be very 
useful. Once again by get¬ 
ting onto the high score 
table and entering the word 
ZBACKDOOR you will gain 
infinite lives. Now you can 
play away to your hearts 
content. Ta again to to 
Richard for that one.

Mirrorsoft’s Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles seems to be 
yHu. gluing one or tuio of vou a hard time bu the number of 
letters uie haue receiued pleading for help. 

U| on these tuio pages AA haue compiled a list of 
uarlous hints and tips that mill mahe your life some¬ 
what easier, as well as the arrowed screenshots labeling the uarl¬ 
ous attach patterns of the enemy, sit down and read this compre- 
henslue guide before thrashing seuen hells out of the Foot clan. 


very few and far between on the 
beginning levels, but as they 
take four hits to destroy, they are 
best left alone. Creatures found 
at the beginning of the game are 
Bookmen which, on the first hit, 


nents you will battle. In the earli¬ 
er stages of the game, they only 
require a single hit and are there¬ 
fore easy meat. However, the fur¬ 
ther you progress, the tougher 
they get and In greater numbers. 
They also carry Shuriken which 
they lob every now and then. 

Mousers are also simple to 
destroy, needing just a singlq hit. 
The same applies for the sewer 
flies. 

Robots that carry guns are 


The Turtles 

First of all, it is essential to learn 
the various weapons that each 
of the four turtles carries, as it 
will aid you later on in the game. 

Donatello is blessed with a 
Bo staff, which enables him to 
strike opponents before they 
can reach him. MichaelAngelo 
and Leonardo both have 
weapons that can cause dam¬ 
age at a reasonable distance 
but Raphael carries Sais, short 
daggers that must be used in 
very close combat. 

Wherever possible, collect 
pizzas that may be scattered 
around, even if it means losing a 


bar of energy, especially if they 
restore all the turtles’ prowess. 

Shurikens, although only 
found in limited supply, are 
handy to use against opponents 
such as Bebop and Rocksteady, 
who are both deadly in hand-to- 
hand combat. 

The Foot 

This is the Shredder’s band of 
elite martial artists, and contains 
the most common of the oppo- 

















































































































































































freeze for a couple of seconds. 
Further hits destroy them. 

Bebop and Rocksteady 
The first end-of-level guardian 
you will meet is Bebop. He 
doesn’t use a weapon, but 
throws a mighty punch. It is best 
to leap Into the air, and land just 
behind him. This leaves him 
open to attack, and provides the 
perfect opportunity. Attack him 
and repeat the entire process. 

Rocksteady will follow you 
into the air when you jump. He 
also carries a machine gun. It is 
also possible to get behind the 
mutant, and sometimes he’ll 
even turn his back on you allow¬ 
ing you to hack away. 

The Dam 

Protecting the entrance to the 
dam is a chainsaw-wielding thug 
who is easy to destroy if you 
know how. Leap over his head 
and onto the ladder behind him. 
Standing just above his head 
taking care you are not being hit, 
swipe low with your sword and 
he should soon die. 

When deactivating the 
bombs, remember time is of the 
essence. Avoid the electric 
force-fields if you can, but ignore 
the odd one or two if time gets 
light. 

The Party W^gon 

Having saved the dam, you 
make your way to the surface 
where you’ll find your party 
wagon. In the nearby house you 
oan find a couple of pieces of 
pizza to replenish energy, as 
well as anti-foot missiles (use 


against barriers that block your 
path). 

The sewers will be entered 
for the first time; Stay out of the 
water at all costs, as falling in will 
result in your capture. Before you 


leave this level, you must find the 
rope which Is used to climb 
across the rooftops later on. 

Rescuing Splinter 
On top of one of the roofs is 
Splinter, being held captive by a 


flying robot. The robot follows a 
set pattern when flying around 
and occasionally drops bombs 
at you from above. The best 
way to kill this beastie is to 
avoid his flight path and stand 
just to the side. When he flys 
past, slice’n’dice him. It may 
take a while but it’s worth it. 

Entering the Technodrome 
Before you can enter the Techn¬ 
odrome, you must find the cor¬ 
rect entrance from three possi¬ 
ble alternatives. 

There are two main 
guardians that protect the 
Shredder’s battle station. The 
large Mouser spits bullets from 
its eyes while its head is its 
weak spot. The tank trundles on 
from the right-hand side of the 
screen, stops in the middle for a 
second or two then goes off to 
the left before repeating the pro¬ 
cess in the other direction. Elec¬ 
tricity blasts from the two termi¬ 
nals on either side, and the 
head is its weak spot. 

The Shredder 

Having battled through count¬ 
less levels of martial artistry, 
you’ll finally come up against the 
Shredder. Avoid his shots at all 
costs and stay on top of the 
ledges. When he jumps up to 
attack you, hit him. It is also 
possible to hit him when he is 
underneath the ledge. Kill him 
and victory is yours.

You shouldn’t have too many problems with this one. Use the early 
levels to build up a high score by going for the special bonuses. Any 
extra lives that can be gained are also worth chasing. 







































































HIUSES HD KDDS 




While speeding around the platforms you will come across some useful and some not so use¬ 
ful bonuses. So which are worth collecting and which are a waste of petrol? 

Smart Bombs, Snowflakes and Metamorphosis are all well worth chasing after and can 
mean the difference between completing the level and losing a life. From the rest of the icons 
the Gun and Big Bumper are the most useful. When using the gun make sure you have a 
clear shot as when you fire while jumping the bullet usually goes astray. As for the other 
bonuses, they are helpful but aren’t worth pursuing - let them come to you. 


iDiDiUDitsariinisiMi 

The nasties are now a little faster and are harder to outrun. Keep an eye 
out for the Spiders - being black they blend in with the background very 
well and more often than not you don’t notice them until it is too late.

EJECTOR SEAT 

This comes out of 
the car and destroys 
any nasties directly 
above you. 

SPARE TYRE 

These are thrown 
from the back of the 
car and destroy any 
nasties behind you. 




OILCAN 

Oil is squirted onto 
the ground and 
makes the baddies 
go into a spin. 

GUN 

This is handy as it 
fires an enormous 
bullet from the 
front of the car. 




BIG FEN DA 

This enables Amie to 
bumb into any nas¬ 
ties without cause- 
ing personal damage. 

MORTAR 

This is fired from the 
top of the car and 
explodes when it 
hits an enemy. 


MUiiaiiEEiiNiariiii 

This is where your problems will begin. Making the jumps between 
some of the platforms requires split second timing. The bad guys are 
more intelligent and tend to home in on your position. 











































































DEPTH CHARGE 

This bomb drops from 
underneath Amie and 
kills any baddies on a 
lower platform. 

BACKFIRE 

The wonky exhaust 
produces a chuff of 
smoke confusing any 
enemies behind. 




iUll 


STEAM 

The jet of steam 
finds its way to a 
higher platform 
killing a nastie. 



^ SMART 
BOMBS 

These destroy all 
enemies on the 
screen at the time. 


^ 


SNOWFLAKE 

This freezes all the 
aliens and enables 
you to tear around 
without a worry. 


SPEED TURN 



This allows you to 
make a speedy 
turn at twice the 
normal rate. 


ALIEN 

METAMORPHOSIS 

This turns all the horrid aliens into big 
bonuses for toads of luvly juviy extra 
points, so be sure to nab them. 



WORLD FOUR; The Prehistoric floe 

Jumping between certain platforms will require you to position yourself 
as you may miss the next platform completely. Beware of the Pterodactyl 
as it can move around the screen freely without following the platforms.

A M I Qii 



























Before you start a match you can choose the pitch and 
weather conditions to make the game easy or hard. Howev¬ 
er you can’t do this when playing in the league. You just 
have to put up with what you get! 

Everyone knows 
who Gazza is, or at 
least if anyone 
doesn’t they must 
have been on 
another planet for 
the last couple of years. Yes, 

Gazza’s that lovable soccer star 
who cried when he got a yellow 
card in the World Cup; been voted 
best dressed man of 1990; most 
popular sports star; even joined the 
countless soap stars and made his 
own record. There’s just no stop¬ 
ping the man. 

However, a personalised game 
is not a new thing for Gazza. He’s 
already had one (Gazza’s Super 
Soccer) which we reviewed way 
back in issue six, and didn’t like 
very much. But with this being the 
second attempt at a Gazza game 
we should hope to see a better ver¬ 
sion, and hopefully most of the bad 
points ironed out. 

In Gazza II you take on the role 
of player, manager and coach giv¬ 
ing you total control over the game. 

Using your managerial skills you 
can buy and sell players to improve 
your team as it competes in league 
and International cup matches. 

Sending out scouts is up to you as 
well, and with your man in the right 
place you can pick up some very 
talented lads for a relatively small 
amount of cash. 

But you have to remember 
you’re wearing the coach’s shoes 
as well and training and tactics will 
have to be practiced if your players 



Controlling the ball is quite easy in Gazza II. As soon as 
your player has touched it, the ball sticks to his feet and 
stays there until you are tackled or pass It. From here you 
can dribble it up the pitch for a shot at goal. 



Unfortunately, the goalie is like the game itself-not very 
good. Even the simplest shots are fumbled making the 
game extremely frustrating. This lack of intelligence does 
spoil the game as it is unrealistic. 



are going to , 
work well 
together as a 
team. Using 
the very 

user-friend¬ 
ly icons, 

change the 
player’s posi¬ 
tions on the 
pitch and their 
instructions - follow 
the ball, mark a 
player and so on. 

But if all this 
work sounds a bit 
daunting, 
don’t worry! 

If you’re 
more of an 

arcade freak, you can just simply 
play the matches and not have to 
worry about running the business 
side of things. 

The way the matches are 
played has changed vastly since 
Gazza I and you no longer have to 
put up with flick screen scrolling. 
The pitch is viewed from an over¬ 


head position and scrolls with the 
ball in eight directions. And of 
course you can play against a 
friend rather than 
taking on the 
rather clever com¬ 
puter sides. A 
human opponent 
is much more fun.

GAZZA II 

EMPIRE £24.99 
TEAMiOXEERDDieiTUEIIT. 



After playing Gazza Super Soccer it was 
pretty safe to say that Gazza it couldn’t be 
as bad, but it is only just better. The graph¬ 
ics are fair but move awkwardly and 
unrealistically which tends to detract from 
the overall game. The music doesn’t really 
fit either. If you thought that Gazza’s record 
was bad then wait until you get a load of 
this. Companies seem to be pushing out a 
lot of footie games recently but these are 
just not up to the standard of existing prod¬ 
ucts which are very popular. Although you 
shouldn’t compare this game to games like 
Player Manager or Kick Off, you can’t help 
but do so while playing it. And even though 
it has the buying and selling aspects the 
gameplay isn’t even close to the Anco cork¬ 
er, and you are soon pulling out your hair 
in both frustration and despair. I can see 
Gazza II falling by the wayside.

Disaster has struck! Temujin is dead. The Mongoi tribes will fall apart 
unless a worthy successor can be found. Any rivals will be threatening to 
invade while the country is in mourning. Things don’t look good.

In 1155 a baby boy 
was born to the 
head of the Mongol 
tribe, with a clot of 
blood in one of his 
hands. His name 


was Temujin. 

His father was head of the 
Mongol tribe and was respected by 
everybody. He admired his father 
very much and strived to be like 
him. Then one day his life was 
shattered. His father was killed by 
a rival and the integrity of the tribe 
crumbled. Temujin’s family found 
themselves alone in the desolate 
lands of the Gobi 
desert. 

The bereaved 
family had to pro¬ 
vide for them¬ 
selves and were 
left to the mercy of 
the forces of 
nature. But 
Temujin was strong and even 
though he was still young he led 
his family back to prosperity and 
beyond. He united the separate 
tribes and became their leader, 
succeeding in building the greatest 
empire that the world has ever 
known. Temujin was presented, by 
his people, with the title of 
Genghis Khan, Ruler of All. 

Infogrames' latest release puts 
you in the shoes of Temujin, 
Genghis Khan. The game is strate¬ 


You may have the biggest army but that 
doesn’t mean tiddly when it gets wiped out 
by the plague. You should have spent some 
more money on the standards of living. 


You can choose to control any of the four . 
commanders listed here. Each requires dif¬ 
ferent tactics and strategies if you are to 
succeed in conquering your rivals. 


gy based with 
w a r g a m e 
sequences. It centres 
on the continents of 
Europe and Asia, with a 
spotlight on the Gobi Desert 
and the immediate area. 

There are two main scenarios 
and both are very different. The first 
is a single player game and depicts 
the early part of Temujin’s life. 

You have to unite the tribes of 
the Gobi into a single powerful 
army with you at its head. The sec¬ 
ond scenario is more complex and 
can cater for upto four players. You 
must take control of one of four 
countries, including the Mongols 
and Genghis Khan himself,and 
conquer the Eurasian continent. 

You can give commands to 
your followers and soldiers via a 
series of drop down menus. You 
have control of all aspects of your 
tribes from trading to fighting, from 
politics to farming. A map displays 
all the regions involved in the cur¬ 


rent scenarios and a 
status window dis¬ 


plays all the relevant 
data on the currently 
selected unit or country. 
Whenever you go to war 
with another country or tribe the 
display alters to a more traditional 
view of the battle field divided up 
by hexagons. The two opposing 
armies are shown in their relevant 
positions, either in the 
wilderness about to 
attack or ready to 
defend a city. You 
have complete 
control over each 
unit using the 
menu system, you 
decide your tactics 
and strategies.

GENeHISKHAN 

limAMES £24.99 
TEAKKOEI 


Infogrames intend to reiease a trilogy of 
historical simulations and Genghis Khan is 
the first in the series, closely followed by 
Bandit Kings of Ancient China. The menu 
driven control system Is quick and simple 
to use. Despite the game’s complexity and 
the depth of play it was possibie to start 
playing straightaway but to master the 
challenge will take experience and a con¬ 
siderable amount of time. Graphics and 
sound are adequate for a strategy game 
and any shortfalls they may have are more 
than compensated for by gameplay. A must 
for any wargamer or armchair General.

Platforms games 
have been around 
on home comput¬ 
ers from almost the 
day they were 
released. Probably 
the most remembered one to the 
veteran games player will be the 
ancient Speccy title, Manic Miner. 
In this classic little game you con¬ 
trolled miner Willy as he patrolled 
through his mine collecting a selec¬ 
tion of goodies, while at the same 





time avoiding colourful mutant tele¬ 
phones and the like. 

And as simple as the 
idea of the platform game 
is, it certainly works. 

Game after game has 
been brought out using 
basically the same guide¬ 
lines but with the platforms 
slightly rearranged and a 
new character to familiarise 
yourself with. 

The major breakthrough came 


when scrolling was added. 

Then the action really 
started and instead of 
a load of one-screen lev¬ 
els, the game could 
have just a few or 
even one level of 
gigantic proportions. 

But the going 
wasn’t all easy. Devel¬ 
opers soon started to run 
out of ideas and unoriginal 
releases became common. You 


mon. You needed to take a 
great deal of care when pur¬ 
chasing a game to avoid 
something you'd seen many 
times before. But original 
ideas didn’t stop altogether 
- and this is where Chuck 
Rock comes in. 


I 










































Oh dear! We need to get on a ledge to the right of the screen, but that chasm is just too big 
for you to jump across. What can he do? Not to worry. Just catch a lift with the rather sleepy 
looking beast. He will grasp hold of your hair and carry you to your next destination which 
will invariably a higher level which would have previously been inaccessible. 



At some points of the game you have to 
depend on your reactions. Otherwise you 
could end up not smelling too nice. 



Usually a quick belly flop is enough to deal 
with the various dinosaurs, but this one's a 
totally different kettle offish. When you hit 
him he splits into two. 



Ah! At last you make it to the exit, but you’ve still got a long way to 
go. Let’s just hope Ophelia is OK. You just can’t trust that Gary grit- 
ter guy but wait until you get your hands on him. 


With a small boulder held above your head you can protect yourself 
from the barrage of boulders that come rolling down the hill. Howev¬ 
er, not all the rocks can be rebounded this way. 




Ophelia, Chuck 
Rock’s ever loving 
wife has been taken 
captive by the evil and 
rather good looking Gary 
Critter, and it is up to Chuck o 
get her back. All he has to 
axomplish this is his sheer brute 
strength with which he will be able 
to lift and use the various rocks and 
boulders he will come across on his 
journey. 

Taking on the role of Chuck 


there are five levels 
that you will have to 
battle your way 
through, each divided 
into a further five sub-lev¬ 
els. As the game is set in the 
Prehistoric age there are plenty 
of dinosaurs just waiting for you 
to turn up and become their lunch 
for the day. 

These creatures come in quite 
a few different shapes and sizes 
and most have some sort of trick up 




there sleeve ready to surprise 
you. But not all the mon¬ 
sters you encounter will 
be out to harm you. Here 
and there you will come 
across dinosaurs that will 
carry you across swamps 
or deep chasms that 
would otherwise be 
unpassable. 

Nature itself is out 
to make things hard as 
well. Prickly thorn 


bushes and slimey swamps 
are present, and you'll 
encounter the occasional 
falling boulder every so often, 
and just when you’re least 
expecting it. And these can 
give you quite a really painful- 
headache if you 
are not careful to 
avoid them. 


Continued on 
the next page... 

































With a gut as big as yours you have to keep it weii suppiied. 
At ieast your fiab comes in handy against those annoying 
dinosaurs. Thrust it out at them and they wiii go ftying. 



The forth tevet changes the styie of the game quite a bit. But 
nothing can stop you from pursuing your wife. And you need 
a bath anyway. You stink of Pteranadon droppings! 



Oh no! The nasty ice Age has kiiied off most of the ioveiy 
dinosaurs, but you are stiii making progress and you are 
going to give that Gary a what for when you get hoid of him. 



I 



1} This is what they took tike. 
These two ioveiy rocks come 
in very handy during the game, 
and without them Opheiia 
woutd be lost forever. 


2) Although your belly 
can take care of the 
monsters quite well, 
the rocks are much 
better for killing them. 


3) Oh dear! That ledge is just that little bit too high for you to jump on. But 
with the aid of your handy Black and Decker rock you can reach it quite eas¬ 
ily. Throw the rock against the cliff and leap onto it. 


4) If you haven 7 got enough 
rocks around you to make 
some stairs then you’re going 
to need a spring croc. Stand 
on his tail, throw the rock on 


5) Raindrops 
keep falling on 
my head. But 
it’s the boul¬ 
ders we’re wor¬ 
ried about. For¬ 
tunately, this 
fashionable 
rock hat seems 
to do the trick! 
But drop the 
rock and you’ll 
be in trouble. 


6) Yuk! That swamp looks even muckier than your 
undies and the last thing you want to do is jump in. 
But yet again your faithful rock comes to the rescue 
A and provides a means of crossing.. 


But some of the boulders aren’t 
there for hindrance. At some 
points of the level you might come 
across a cliff face that is too high 
to scale. If this is so, all you have 
to do is grab hold of a handy boul¬ 
der, and use it to give yourself a 
leg up to the top of the rock face. 

Of course, you are bound to 
pick up a few knocks and bruises 
along the way, and if you get too 
many you will spin round and fall 
to the ground dead, and conse¬ 
quently lose one of your lives. But 
this can be avoided by scoffing the 
selection of food that can be found 
lying around that once eaten will 
restore a certain amount of energy 


(the better the food, the more 
energy you get back). 

If you manage to make it to 
your destination, and you’re going 
to have to be some kind of hunky 
caveman to do that, you will come 
face to face with the wicked girl- 
napper, Gary Gritter. 

Will you ever see Ophelia 
again? How will you live without 
her cooking the wonderful Bron¬ 
tosaurus stew with Pteradactyl 
soup for pudd. I 
guess you’ll just 
have to get your 
skates on and res¬ 
cue her. The trou¬ 
ble girls cause!

CHUCK ROCK 

C0IIEE24.99 

TEIUII:LPIIUIM.LnM'm>l 



All you can really say about Chuck Rock is - 
absolutely brilliant! Although it's just anoth¬ 
er platform game, it is a totally new con¬ 
cept. The way you interact with the rocks 
and dinosaurs is great and just so original. 
The graphics and sound are some of the 
best I’ve seen this year and compliment the 
game very well. The 25 levels have had a 
lot of work put into them and will keep you 
playing for hours, working out how to over¬ 
come each of the many problems. A smash¬ 
ing game and a must for everyone.

ARCADE ADVENTURE 





I was just a boy 
when it all started. 
The land was a 
beautiful place to 
live in and peace 
was eternal, and 
even then Shankriya had a great 
mastery of the mystic arts. But no 
one really cared how powerful he 
got just as long as he 
continued to use 
some of his spells to 
help the comings and 
goings of their everyday 
life. 

Then one day in a fell swoop, 
Shankriya stepped forward and 
stole all the land’s magical scrolls. 
This move left the land virtually 
defenceless, and even though the 
mightiest warriors rose against him 
they were no match for his magic. 
While the scrolls were still in his 
possession he was unbeatable, 
and it was for this reason that he 



stored them away in 
his dungeons which 
later became known as 
the Death Trap. 

You are a young man 
who has been trained since his 
early years for the task ahead of 
you - to enter the Death Trap and 
retrieve the sacred scrolls. You 
have been taught how to fight and 
use magic by the best that are still 
alive, and you’ll need to use both 
well if you are to stand a chance of 
surviving against the evil incanta¬ 
tions that Shankriya has sum¬ 
moned to protect the scrolls. 

As you enter the dungeon you 
are armed with only a small club to 
use against the vast numbers of 
monsters, but there are ways of 
improving your weapon. Red 
chests can be found here and there 
and inside are a selection of 
1 ^goodies to aid you, including 
power-ups for your club. 



However, be careful 
as some contain 
deadly traps. You also 
have a large variety of 
spells, both offensive and 
defensive, to use against the 
monsters. But before you can 
cast them you must first collect the 
supplies of magic potions. 

Each spell requires a certain 
amount of a particular coloured 
potion and these potions can be 
found in the remains of most mon¬ 
sters that you slay. There are three 
different coloured potions: red, 
green and blue, and of course the 
more potion you use the more pow¬ 
erful the spell and the longer it 
lasts. 

Can you res¬ 
cue the scrolls and 
live to return 
peace to your 
land? Everything 
lies in your hands! 



Using the three different coloured potions 
you assemble a few deadly spells to use 
against the monsters. But they don’t last 
forever so don’t waste them.

DEATH TMP 

IIIIC0E24.99 

TEAM:C.mR«IT 



Anco have had only one truly successful 
game to their credit and this was Kick Off. 
Although Death Trap Is a definite departure 
from this genre, the game is fairly addictive 
and well presented. The gameplay Is a little 
lacking and the plot somewhat stale but the 
overall impression is fairly good. The graph¬ 
ics are the highlight of Death Trap and it is 
obvious that a great deal of care and atten¬ 
tion has feen taken over them. Anco’s 
arcade genre history has definitely taken a 
step up with the release of Death Trap.

r You’ll need to know how far it is to 
the pin so you can choose the 
right club. That’s if you’ve brought it 
with you of course. 

A The wind can make things very 
^ hard for you, and a iot a care and 
judgement witi be needed to work out 
how much slice or hook you need to put 
on the bail. 

J Clicking on the bail icon will show 
you what sort of ground the ball is 
on, and the lie of the grass on the 
greens. 

4 Which dub wili do the trick? 

Check the distance and then give 
it your best shot. You can’t do much 
ipore than that. 

5 Getting your feet right is very 
important. Stand wrongty and you 
couid end up with your bait in the rough 
or out of bounds. 

At iast you’re ready to hit the halt. 
" But you’a need good timing if it’s 
going to end up exactly where you 
wanted to put it. 




Golf is a very popu¬ 
lar sport, and one 
that requires a 
great deal of skill. 
But not everyone 
can be bothered 
walking around a golf course with a 
set of rather heavy clubs lopped 
over their shoulder. So this is 
where your handy home computer 
comes in. All you have to do is 
boot the disk and take the strain of 
lifting the joystick into your lap. 

Tournament Golf provides you 
with three world-class courses (UK, 
USA and Japan) and 15 interna¬ 
tional computer opponents to play 
against in a bid to 
become the 
world number 
one. But 
you’ll need 
to do a lot of 
practising 
before you’ll

Stand a chance of beat- ^ 
ing the professionals. ^ ^ 

Trees and water are o 
not the only things that you 
will have to contend with while 
playing. Weather conditions will 
have to be monitored as well, so 
that you can change the amount of 
hook or slice you are going to put 
on the ball to allow for the high 
winds. 

A selection of different clubs is 
available for the more experienced 
player. The quality of these clubs is 
very important as it will affect the 
distance that you will be able to hit 
the ball. When you begin you will 
be equipped with a set of black car¬ 
bon clubs. These are the worst 
clubs due to the reduced distance 
that you can hit the ball. With a car¬ 
bon one wood the furthest you can 
hit it 230 yards as opposed to 265 
yards with a super ceramic. This 
can make a lot of difference to your 


play 


I game. The catch is you 
. can only upgrade your 
> clubs by winning a tourna- 
ment. 

The computer opponents you 
against are very good and the 


worst that they usually score is a 
bogey on each of the 18 holes. 
Also, if you take more than 100 
strokes you will be disqualified 
from the tournament because 
you would not stand a chance. 

Although you play against 15 
computer opponents you can 
only play against one friend, 
unlike most sports games 
released these 
days that seem 
to let more and 
more human 
players partici¬ 
pate.

As sports games go Tournament Goif is pret¬ 
ty average, it’s not the best golf game I’ve 
ever seen, but if you’re a fan and fancy 
something new to piay around with then this 
is certainiy worth a try. The graphics are 
very good, and although the sound could 
have been better it is adequate for this type 
of game. It’s easy to get into, and doesn’t 
have you searching through the manual just 
to find out how to hit the bail properly. Noth¬ 
ing amazing that hasn't already been seen 
before, but quite nice nevertheless.

(Above) What clubs should you take onto the 
course? You can only take a certain number so 
choose wisely, or pay the consequences. 


(Right) You make it onto the green, but it’s not 
over yet. Puttii\g is not a easy as it iooks and 
you can quite easily overshoot and send your 
ball off the other side of the green. 




This is what can happen if you’re not careful enough when hitting the 
ball. Although the ball was lined up, the wind and slice of the dub has 
put you in the trees - and a lot of trouble!

PUZZLE AND QUIZ 



You get most of the locks deactivated, so to prevent any from becoming activated again you 
can use a padlock to freeze them in that position. 



Once inside the safe you have to open nine deposit boxes. Each one takes about two sec¬ 
onds to open, so let’s hope you’ve got a bit of time. 






Barnie had been 
without money for 
quite a while, and 
he couldn’t even 
remember the last 
time he popped out 
and blew a tenner on a slap up 
meal at McDonalds. But things 
have gone far enough for Barnie, 
and now he’s going to get some 
money - no matter what it takes. 

Although he hasn’t got two 
pennies to rub together his neigh¬ 
bours are quite a different story, 
with money coming out of their 
ears. So being the good neighbour 
that he is, Barnie has decided to 
relieve them of some of their price¬ 
less jewels. 

However, achieving this task 
isn’t easy as his neighbours have 
taken precautions (fnar!) and their 
collections of expensive 
. - jewelry have been 
popped into rather 
expensive safes 

equipped with tons of 
tumblers and huge 
amounts of alarms. 

But as any good safe¬ 
cracker will know, nothing is 
totally burigar-proof and it’s 
up to Barnie to prove this 
statement right and 
become a very rich man 
(and then blow it all at 
McDonalds). 

Once Barnie has broken 
into the house and managed 
to find the safe you will be 
put in control. In each 
level you will be faced 
with a safe that has a 
certain number of tum¬ 
blers connected to locks 
that are presently stop¬ 
ping you from getting inside. 

The tumblers are slightly differ¬ 
ent to the normal ones you might 


icon inn 

© Extra time: Collect these at 
all costs. For each one you 
pick up an extra 30 seconds 
will be yours. 



Pause: Collecting this icon 
will stop the timer for a short 
while. Not as good as the 
extra time, but better than 
nothing. 



Restart: If you happen to get 
into an impossible situation, 
collect this and get another 
try at the level - minus the 
time you wasted. 


see on a safe: Instead of having 
numbers they each have four 
colours (not necessarily different). 
The locks are also different colours 
and to deactivate them you must 
match them with a same colour on 
the tumbler that is next to them (eg. 
red to red). 

If two of the same colours are 
matched on two different tumblers 
they will repel each other thus turn¬ 
ing a tumbler that you may not be 
able to control. But no matter what 
happens during the game you must 
keep your eye on the timer as you 
must make sure that the safe is 
open before it runs out. 

However, you are not totally 
without help. As you frantically 
attempt to open the safe a selec¬ 
tion of different icons will appear 
around the outside of the tumblers, 
and when collected they will pro¬ 
vide a variety of helpful things such 
as extra time. Can 
you open the safe 
and make Barnie 
rich enough to 
spend a few nights 
down the pub?

REVELATIONS 


MIISIILISE19.99 ; 


TEMliTEQUE : 


Upon first playing Revelations you’ll realise 
how addictive it is. The graphics and sound 
are certainly adequate, although nothing 
special. However, although Revelations is 
good enough to be Recommended the 
gameplay did strike me as a bit dodgy. At 
some points during play I found myself beat¬ 
ing a whole string of levels simply by Just 
turning the tumblers at random and not real¬ 
ly bothering to try and work it out properly. 
But even so I still think you’ll find it a chal¬ 
lenge, and worth considering.

6) Cursor This is used to control the tumblers and collect any icons that appear. 

7) Controllable Tumblers: These are used to break into the safe. Normal tumblers can be

10) Tumbler: Similar to the controllable tumblers, but you can’t turn these manually.

Most music packages are very expensive and invariably 
fairly basic. This is where Quartet steps in. With the 
power of a synthesiser and four track sequencer, it 
allows you to play back up to four Instruments simultane¬ 
ously, thus turning your Amiga into a real musical Quar¬ 
tet. 

The music editor consists of four scrolling staves 
which hold the notes. These are entered via the key¬ 
board or the mouse which makes composing extremely 
easy. The program comes complete with 100 musical 
instruments and sound which can be easily accessed. 
Up to 16 instruments can be stored at once and all of 
these can be changed into drum rhythms. 

Quartet costs £39.99 and is available from ByteBack 
Software who you can contact on 0636 79097. 

SCALII-DATA VISION 

As the power of the Amiga becomes more apparent 
many people dabble with video titling. It allows you to do 
this by transferring Amiga picture files on to video to 
such a high quality that you can use them for presenta¬ 
tion videos. 

If you have your own business Scala is essential as 
It allows you to present your Images in a neat, compact 
and very professional way. It is also great fun for the 
home user although It Is a little on the expensive side. 
Expense aside, if you want to produce professional 
video titling displays, your best option is Scala. 

Silica System currently stock Scala and they can be 
contacted on 081 309 1111. The price of Scala is a mas¬ 
sive £249.95.

Disney have always pushed animation techniques to the 
limit and now they have branched their expertise into the 
computer industry. Each animation is created in much 
the same way as used for the motion pictures. 

Several cells are drawn and compiled to produce a 
flicker-book type animation. The cells are then filled with 
colour and tidied up to produce the finished piece. There 
are other advanced features which take Disney Anima¬ 
tion program higher than any other motion creator. It is 
very expensive but worth it. If you want to produce any 
worthwhile anims then you will really need Imeg of RAM 
which is a slight disadvantage. 

Disney Animation retails for £99.95 and can be pur¬ 
chased from Gordon Harwood who can be reached on 
0773 836781.

No longer is a joystick a joystick because Logic 3 have 
just released the Sting Ray which looks more like a 
Phaser out of Star Trek. Fortunately, the stick is very 
responsive and comfortable to hold. Fans of the Konix 
Navigator will be pleased as the Sting Ray is very simi¬ 
lar, although it is definitely an improvement. 

There are two versions available, the standard and 
the auto-fire. The Sting Ray can be held in either hand 
with an easily accessible trigger fire button. The stan¬ 
dard stick retails for £14.95 while the auto-fire retails for 
£15.95. ^

If you ever wanted to reproduce mono samples on your 
Amiga at a relatively cheap price then Mastersound is 
the one for you. Although the product has been out for 
some time it is still one of the best samplers available 
for the Amiga at the price of £33.95. 

The program features an excellent in-built editor that 
allows you to change sampled sounds and remix them 
as well as cut, fade, shrink and overlay, all these fea¬ 
tures make Mastersound a very powerful sound tool 
indeed. Any samples that are saved can be used on 
demos or programs. The sequencer also allows you to 
play back any sequenced sounds while displaying IFF 
picture files. 

Mastersound is available from Gordon Harwood on 
0773 836781.

Although the name of this product would make you 
believe that it is in fact an art creation tool, it is not. Art 
Department Pro is a utility tool and a very powerful one 
at that. 

The program can load In different picture files on 
different formats and these can then be manipulated. 
As well as loading, pictures can also be saved out on 
any format which makes them compatible with other 
machines. As an example of Its power. Art Department 
Pro can load in 24 bit Macintosh pictures and save 
them out again as IFF. Obviously the quality will not be 
as good but it Is nonetheless very useful. 

Art Department Professional can be purchased 
from Silica Systems who are part of Silica Shop and 
they can be contacted on 081 309 1111. The price of 
the product is £199. 

AMiGA DOS UOll-BRUCE SMITH BOOKS 

Ask a new Amiga owner what the CLI is and he will 
probably return with a blank and puzzled face. It is true 
to say that many veteran owners will also 
have the same reply. Unless you realise how to com¬ 
municate with your Amiga you’re not really getting the 
most out of your machine. 

Mastering Amiga Dos Vol I Is the first book in a 
series of two which explain the working of the Amiga as 
well as the CLI in depth. This book is an invaluable aid 
to understanding your machine and one that no owner 
should be without. 

The book is fairly pricey at £21.95 but Is is an 
invaluable aid to the Amiga. The book can be pur¬ 
chased from Bruce Smith Books on 0727 41248. 

0) AMiGA DOS UOL2-BRUCESMITH BOOKS 

Unlike Vol I, Vol II concentrates on all the commands 
used with the CLI. These commands are the key to 
communicating with the Amiga Dos system. Without 
them, the CLI will seem confusing as the Amiga manual 
is very unfriendly. 

The book takes you step by step through the many 
facets of Amiga Dos. It Is wise to purchase Vol I before 
going onto Vol II as this will set you up for the subjects 
covered in the sequel. Both add up to an excellent ref¬ 
erence guide which definitely warrant the asking price. 

Cheaper than Vol I, Vol II is available for £17.95 
from Bruce Smith Books on 0727 41248.

What on earth does a discman have to do with comput¬ 
ers? I hear you ask. Well, nothing really but it does give 
you something to calm your nerves when you are work¬ 
ing on your machine. Block out the annoying blams and 
smashes of games and settle back to Jean Michel 
Jarre, Pink Floyd or Otis Reading. If you hate all of 
those then you’re out of luck. 

The Sony Megabass Discman is probably the best 
of its kind at the price, producing a very clean sound. If 
you’ve already got a CD player and it’s not the Sony 
Megabass then you’ve probably wasted your money. 

The Sony Megabass Discman retails for around 
£130 and can be found in most reliable electrical shops 
such as Currys and Rumbelows. 


irnZfCf 

UU -I 





























If you are new, or 
even a dab hand at 
the Amiga, this 

series of articles is 
for you. The 

Amiga, or any other disk based 
machine for that matter, relies on 
some sort of Disk Operating Sys¬ 
tem (DOS); the PC has MSDOS 
(Microsoft Disk Operating System), 
the Atari ST has TOS (The Operat¬ 
ing System) and the Amiga has its 
very own system - AmigaDOS. 

So just what does it do? It con¬ 
veys the various commands which 
the machine recognises and under¬ 
stands. These can range from a 
simple operation to check what 
files are on a disk, to a complete 
line of instructions to make a disk 
Auto load a program into the com¬ 
puter. 

The only way to get at the DOS 
is through an interpreter program 
which takes your commands 
entered at the keyboard and tells 
the machine what to do. Com¬ 
modore have supplied two inter¬ 


preter programs which can be 
found on the Workbench v1.3, v2.0 
and v1.3.2 disks. 

To see these, boot up your 
Back-up version of the Workbench 
disk and once it has loaded click on 
the Workbench Icon to the right of 
the screen. You should see all the 
files and directories contained on 
the Workbench disk. For this article 
we will be using v1.3.2. 

For this series instead of CLI 
we’ll use the Shell program from 
Workbench v1.3 or v2.0 due to the 
fact it’s slightly more advanced. 

Unfortunately, v1.2 of Work¬ 
bench only has only the CLI on its 
disk. If you are a 1.2 owner howev¬ 
er, please don’t assume that you 
can't join in with the series. Both 
the CLI and the Shell are virtually 
identical. 

Now that we know where the 
Shell and CLI are situated on the 
Workbench disk, double click the 
Shell icon (CLI if your using Work¬ 
bench v1.2) to load up the soft¬ 
ware. After a short while you should 


be greeted with something the 
same as the screen to the left 
(Workbench v1.3 only). 

The Shell or CLI actually waits 
for Input commands from the user. 
These commands can instruct the 
computer to perform most opera¬ 
tions although the commands must 
be recognisable otherwise the pro¬ 
gram will return with 'command not 
known'. So what use is the CLI to 
you? 

The CLI is the only means of 
communicating directly with the 
Amiga. When you open up the 
Workbench window you can see 
various Icons. These are programs 
but each one may have a series of 
other routines to help it work. 
These sub-programs aren’t visible 
on the Workbench so you will need 
to enter CLI to see them. Once 
they are found you can then start 
experimenting with them. But first 
you will need to learn the basics 
before you start messing with the 
complex. 

For the moment we have got to 


find some way of getting rid of that 
unsightly CLI window. The com¬ 
mand is straightforward and sim¬ 
ple. 

To close the Shell/CLI window 
type 'endcli'. You have just learnt 
your first CLI command. Endcli 
instructs the Amiga to close the 
current CLI window and halt any 
further input. 

Now that you know how to get 
to Shell and CLI and exactly what 
their uses are we will leave it there 
until next month, where we’ll use 
Shell/CLI to show you exactly what 
sort of information you can get 
from a populated (full) disk, as well 
as doing some basic disk routines.

UTILITIES: The Utilities are programs more 
for the fun of the user than the importance 
of the machine. It contains the notepad, 
clock and calculator etc. 

SYSTEM: The System drawer is the most 
important drawer on tyhe Workbench and it 
should never be erased. It contains the CLI 
and system preferences for the Amiga. 
EXPANSION: The expansion drawer comes 
empty at first but is useful if you have any 
add-ons such as a Hard Disk. Any software 
requirements for these extras can be 
stored in the Expansion drawer. 

SHELL: The is the interpreter program that 
the user needs to communicate with the 
Amiga operating system. From here we can 
examine disks and perform function on 
them. 

PHEFERENCES: The preferences control the 
colour of the Workbench and the image of 
the pointer which can be edited.

Following up the hugely successful 
Gauntlet, Gauntlet II is a hack ‘n 
slay of massive proportions. 
Viewed from above, the game can 
have up to four players at a time 
with the aid of an adaptor. It fea¬ 
tures over 100 levels of maze-may¬ 
hem, a total of 1,000 different 
screens. 

Four characters can be chosen 
from Questor the Elf, Merlin the 
Wizard, Thor the Warrior and Thyra 


the Valkyrie. A whole plethora of 
new creatures have been included, 
along the lines of the ‘if monsters 
and the fire-breathing dragon. 

Death also makes a reappear¬ 
ance, along with the whailing 
ghosts and club-wielding ogres. 
Locked doors may conceal hidden 
treasure, and there is also a secret 
room to be found.

in future. 

(Inset) Getting trig¬

if you do run out of

your fists. 






From the very 
beginning your job 
as a Zodiac agent 
had been a tough 
one. Your first 
assignment had 
proved that. You had to infiltrate 
the Corporation’s 16 story head¬ 
quarters and obtain an experimen¬ 
tal embryo from the building’s 
foetal laboratory. 

Avoiding the multitude of 
alarms and guards had been quite 
tough, but you had managed it by 
the skin of your teeth and returned 
to your base victorious - and with 
the embryo. 

It is because of this initial 
encounter with the Corporation that 
you have been chosen out of all 
the other Zodiac agents to take on 
this mission. Once again you must 
investigate rumours of mysterious 
happenings, but this time it’s in the 
UCC’s North American headquar¬ 
ters which is basically the same 
size as the Corporation’s building. 
You managed to survive your last 
death defying mission, but can you 
make it out alive this time? There’s 
only one way to find out. 

Corporation did extremely well 
for itself when it came out a few 
months back. It had to put up with 
being compared to the likes of 
Dungeon Master. As anyone who 




has played both will 
know, they are completely 
different in gameplay. But 
even though it was judged 
against such a massive hit. Cor¬ 
poration still came out smelling of 
roses. 

Using a mouse you must con¬ 
trol your character and attempt to 
infiltrate the complex and this time 
retrieve a certain item from the 
buildings Genetic laboratory. The 
mission disk is basically the same 
as the original game In the way that 
all the monsters and items identi¬ 
cal. But there is one extra hard 
robot to use as your character and, 
of course, all the maps have been 


changed, as well as 
things being made a lot 
harder! 

None of the equipment has 
changed, but because of the 
change in setting and difficulty you 
will have to work out what would be 
best to take this time. There are 
even more cameras dotted around 
the complex that will track you and 
set off alarms to alert the building’s 
sentry guards. So you’ll have to be 
ready with your 
gun to blast them. 

The first mission 
was merely prepa¬ 
ration for this, the 
final test.

Corporation the Mission Disk will appeal to 
all fans of the original, with the game, 
graphics and sound being identical. 
Although the original was very good the 
Mission Disk could have done with at least a 
few extra nasties just to spice it up a bit. But 
with that said the extra levels are still good 
and pose quite a challenge being slightly 
more difficult than before. A very good buy 
at the price, but I think It could have been a 
little more original. NB: Needs the original 
Corporation to run. 




The equipment is basically the same. 
However the mission is different so 
you’re going to have to work out what

can take and use depend very much |

LAST NINJA III 

SYSTEM 3 £24.99 
TEJIM: SYSTEM 3 

Ninja III is a very good product 
that has at last left behind the 
other Ninja games and become a 
much more 16-bit looking game, 
something which a lot of other 
companies haven’t been able to 
manage. The graphics are partic¬ 
ularly good, and the size and ani¬ 
mation of the sprites really adds 
to the gameplay. From what 
we’ve played of the game so far 
you should all be able to look for¬ 
ward to what’s probably going to 
be one of the best games to be 
released this year. 


There are five levels in all, each depleting one of the five Ninjitsu elements. Here 
water is the subject of conversation. 


to you thanks (if that’s what you 
can call it) to Activision. But unfor¬ 
tunately it was very poor with little 
done to improve it to 16-bit stan¬ 
dards, and even the gameplay was 
terrible with the player having to 
struggle for hours on end just to 
pick up a stupid key. 

With plans for Ninja III already 
in the pipeline this was quite dis¬ 
turbing for System 3. It now meant 
that Ninja III sales would probably 
be dramatically less due to the fact 
that most people would remember 
the standards of Ninja II and decide 
not to buy the game. 

It was for this reason that Ninja 
Remix was released. System 3 felt 
they needed to set the story 
straight and show people what they 
were capable of. As people who 
read the review in issue 17 will 
know, Ninja Remix was a hell of a 
lot better. 

Any way, back to our present 
subject - Ninja III. The story line 
behind the game follows on from 
where Ninja II left off. Yet again 
Kunitoki has risen, and it’s up to 
you the Last Ninja to hunt him 
down and, using every iota of skill 
that you possess, put an end to him 
once and for all. 

Although the first two games 
were very similar in actual idea and 
layout. Ninja III has been changed 
quite a bit and now involves many 
more cryptic puzzles. Instead of 


simply just collecting the objects 
and then working out what they’re 
used for Ninja III goes one step 
further. Now you can manufac¬ 
ture objects. For example you 
may find a key mould and some 
metal, which you must then take 
to a furnace to make a key, and 
th^n use it to enter a previously 
locked door. 

The graphics are now much 
improved with Ninja and enemy 
sprites twice the normal size 
enhancing the look of the game. 
The animation is much better and 
probably some of the best yet 
seen. One in particular, a robot, is 
so good you almost go into a 
trance the first time you see it. 

Up to three of these amazing¬ 
ly animated sprites can appear 
on the screen at any one time, 
and they will certainly put your 
Ninja to the test. However, unlike 
the first Ninja games you can’t 
just run past them and not bother 
killing them. Each time an enemy 
dies your Ninja will receive some 
Bushido 
power. This 
will enable 
you to overcome the end-of-level 
guardian, but you’ll have to 
defeat quite a few enemies to get 
enough. 

There are five levels in all 
with each of them 
one of the five Ninjitsu 
elements: Earth, 

Air, Water, Fire 
and Void. The 
levels' time 
periods 
change as well, 
and in the later 
stages you end up 
against the aforemen¬ 
tioned robot that is 
animated so well. 

There is also a 
small mini-level to 
accompany each ele¬ 
mental level that con¬ 
tains the end-of-level 
guardians. The latter are 
very tough and you will 
need a lot of Bushido 
power to beat them. Ninja III is 
certainly a game to look forward 
to as our review next month 
should hopefully show.

with Kunitoki but all is not 
as it seems. First you 
must kill him in this 
form, and then you 
must do battle with 
him in his true mor¬ 
tal form (inset). 

Can you overcome 
once more?

Ninja is equipped with many weapons, but in Poisonous gases and fiery pits hinder our intrepid Void is the final level, and here you battle with 

Ninja III he must become the master of them all. Ninja in the fire level. But like all traps they can be Kunitoki for the last time. However, after playing 

This is accomplished by fighting and beating the overcome. What you need to do now is work out the first two, will it be another case of just ban- 

selection of enemies on each level. Are you skill- which objects you will need to do this - your life ishing Kunitoki until the next game in the series,

(Left) What 
tactics should 
you use for this 
match. A tough 
offensive, ora 
cagey 

defence? It’s 
up to you to 
decide, and 
your team to 
win. 



(Left) With all 
the players 
close to the 
Pott the game 
gets quite 
frantic, with 
the opposing 
side desper¬ 
ately trying to 
stop you from 
scoring. 



prisoner having the chance to win 
glory as well as money. The game 
is played on a football type pitch 
with a moat at each end. Behind 
each moat is a small Pott (bucket) 
which is used as a goal. The 
game’s rules are fairly easy: get the 
ball (a small unfortunate creature) 
and throw it in the Pott. That’s it 
really! 

Starting off with a team of 13 
prisoners you must coach them as 
they play through countless num¬ 
bers of games, and then finally 
begin a tour of the continent. But 
there’s a lot more to your job than 
just overseeing the team. 

Prize money is awarded each 
time your team wins a game and 
this has got to be put to good use. 
But finding the best way to spend it 
is not easy! 

There are quite a few things in 
the city of Gorden that the money 
can be spent on, each of them ben- 



Gorden is just like 
any city in the con¬ 
tinent. It has its 
imports and 

exports, its hard- 
workers and crimi¬ 
nals. But unlike our society the 
criminals are dealt with slightly dif¬ 
ferently. Here, instead of putting 
them in prison and making the tax 
payers responsible for the cost of 
their stay, they are put to more use¬ 
ful tasks. 

Once convicted a criminal is 
given a choice of several jobs to do 
to earn money that will eventually 
allow him to buy himself out of 
prison (if that’s what you can call 
it). The usual jobs are available: 
boulder and rubble expert (stone 
breaker), packaging engineer (glu¬ 
ing paper bags), medical assistant 
(guinea pig) or sportsman (MUDS). 

MUDS (Mean Ugly Dirty Sport) 
is the most popular choice with the 



efiting your team in some way. 

These benefits come in various 
forms: some in the way of help 
from defecting prisoners of the 
opposing team, and others that 
affect the statistics of your players. 
This in turn affects their perfor¬ 
mance on the field. 

Prisoners can also be bought 
and sold so that you can improve 
your team and replace any team 
members that might get killed dur¬ 
ing the game. But healing shops 
are available for prisoners who are 
only beat up a little. Succeeding in 
the tour will be 
hard as the oppos¬ 
ing teams are 
mean, but your 
MUDS team is 
meaner!

The first thing you notice when you play 
MUDS is its similarity to Grand Monster 
Slam, the popular creature sports sim. But 
don’t make the mistake of thinking that the 
gamepiay will be just as good because it’s 
far from it. Although a lot seems to have 
gone into the presentation it just doesn’t 
seem to work, and the game is not very 
good. The main reason for this is the con¬ 
trol system that is quite awkward to get the 
hang of, and at points you end up getting 
very frustrated because your men just 
never seem to be in the right place. 
Although it had the makings of a good 
game, when it comes down to it MUDS is 
not one I would recommend.

BANDIT KINGS 

INFOGRAMES £24.99 
TEAM;K0EI 



Bandit Kings is the second in the new 
series of historical strategy games from 
Infogrames. It uses a similar control sys¬ 
tem to the initial release, Genghis Khan, 
and any comments made about that game 
also hold true to Bandit Kings. The depth 
contained in the game is amazing and 
despite the fact that the manual is well 
over 100 hundred pages thick it is possible 
to start play straightaway as the control 
system is very accessible. Bandit Kings is 
slightly inferior to the previous release but 
is still an outstanding game. Highly recom¬ 
mended for any strategy enthusiast.

^■jnHpn At the beginning of 
the 12th century 
the Song Dynasty 
of China was dan- 
gerously close to 
- collapse. The bar¬ 
barians of the Jin Empire threat¬ 
ened to invade from the north and 
destroy the ruling family. Emperor 
Hui Zhong was so concerned with 
the external threats that he failed to 
notice the danger within. 

The Imperial Minister Gao Qiu 
quickly rose to power within the 
government. This despotic tyrant 
soon became the authority in Song. 
Under his rule men who displeased 
him were exiled, while evil men 
who supported him were raised to 
positions of importance. 

Eventually the best of the 
exiled heroes, the bandit kings, 
gathered together to oppose Gao 
Qiu and avenge themselves. 

The game can cater for upto 
seven players and each takes one 
turn every month. You must build 
up popularity and followers until 
you have sufficient power to chal¬ 
lenge Gao Qui and kill him. 

During normal strategic play 
the game presents you with a map 
of China divided into 49 regions. 
Alongside this is data on selected 
units and regions. Using drop down 
menus you can control the territo¬

FRENCH QUARTERS 


At regular periods the Germans will 
call an exercise period during which 
you will be able to visit all the non- 
restricted areas of the castle. At other 
times you are confined to your quar¬ 
ters. So make as much use of this free 
time as possible. The exercise period 
doesn’t really last that long so you will 
have to be quick. Be careful to avoid 
the guards when you make your way 
back to your quarters otherwise the 
Germans will pick you up. 


When you 


caught in 
aforbid- 
den area 
any equipment 
you are carrying will 
^ be confiscated. If you col- 

lect all your possessions in a sin- 
gle place and just take the items that 
you need then you reduce the losses. 


During World War 2 
Colditz was the 
most feared prison¬ 
er of war camp. 
Digital Magic Soft¬ 
ware have released 
a game which allows you to control 
four of its captives, in an attempt to 
outwit the German guards and 
make a break for freedom. 

Chapter 1 

Colditz. The Germans claim it is 
escape proof, they say that any 
man imprisoned there will never 
taste the fresh air of freedom 
again. We, the prisoners of a harsh 
war, intend to prove them wrong. 

We are a small group of four 
friends that intend to liberate our¬ 
selves from this hell hole. There is 
myself - an Englishman, an Ameri¬ 
can, Frenchman and lastly a Pole. 
Our plans are still in their infancy - 
we must search the castle exten¬ 
sively before we can start any work 
in earnest. 

Our main problems at the 
moment are the 
restricted areas into 
which we cannot 
venture. Home made 
lock picks have allowed 
us some freedom but heavy 
security doors still block our 
way. The German guards make 
life difficult but even they cannot 
be everywhere at the same time. 
Chapter 2 

Our explorations are finally getting 
us somewhere. Using keys that we 
have acquired from some sleepy 



guards we are now able to open 
some of the security doors. The 
areas beyond them are of course 
restricted. We are finally building 
up a map of the castle which will 
be an invaluable aid in our 
attempts to gain freedom. 

My American colleague was 
caught in the store rooms and as 
punishment was placed in solitary 
confinement for several days. The 
biggest set-back however was that 
the security keys he was carrying 
were taken by the Germans. We 
will now have to search for 
replacements. 

Chapter 3 

Our plans are finally coming 
together. We have now managed 
to collect pick-axes, shovels and 
other equipment that can be used 
for tunnelling and candles are now 
being gathered so that we light our 
way. A single gate pass has been 
found and if we can get our hands 
on a German uniform one of us 
may be able to bluff his way past 
the sentries and 
make it to freedom. 
Chapter 4 

We have finally started 
tunnelling. After removing 
a small section of the floor 
boards in the chapel we start¬ 
ed to excavate towards the 
northernmost castle wall. While 
one of us tunnels another must 
keep an eye out for any approach¬ 
ing guards. A second tunnel start¬ 
ing in the canteen is being planned 
at this very moment. 


(Right) Having 
collected all 
the necessary 
equipment 
you have 
started to dig 
your way to 
freedom. 

There are sev¬ 
eral places 
from where 
you can start 
your excava¬ 
tions and it 
may take you 
some time to ^ 
find the ideal 
location. 




In order to find the 
items that are essen¬ 
tial to your escape you 
will have to search the 
German offices. The 
rewards are great but 
there are great risks. 



Before launching yourself into a major escape plan it is quite a good idea to check that all 
your characters are in place and ready to take whatever course of action you may decide. 
This will also pause the game so that you can take a breather.

22 SHADOW OF THE BEAST 

■ 


The Pole has managed to get 
held of a German soldier’s uni¬ 
form. After hiding it in a safe place 
he was caught by a guard and 
pi iced in solitary confinement. 
Tt-ey are sure to question him - 
the Germans are becoming suspi¬ 
cious. 

Chapter 5 

The tunnels are nearly complete - 
it will take only a few more days’ 
work before freedom is ours. We 
mrjst very cautious in these late 
st iges. The German patrols have 
become more frequent now. For 
them to find our work at this stage 
would be disastrous. Using the 
uniform and pass that we have in 
our possession my Polish friend 
intends to make his escape 
attempt tomorrow night. The rest 
of us will follow using the tunnels 
ae soon as possible. 

Bad news. My French com- 
penion has been brash. Using a 
roce he tried to scale the outer 
w?.)ll during the night. He was obvi¬ 
ously discovered by the Germans 
and shot. He will be sorely missed. 
Our own attempts at freedom must 
begin now. To delay will mean cer¬ 
tain discovery by the more vigilant 
patrols. 

The packaging to the game of 
Coiditz is excellent and includes a 
map of the castle 
ard the actual 
novel on which the 
game is based 
which provides 
excellent reading. 


ESCAPE FDOMCOLDITZ 

mUEIC £24.99 
TEAM: JEN LAWS MIKE HALSAU 


Coiditz is based upon the board game of 
the same name produced by Gibson Games 
and follows the original quite closely. 
Sound and graphics are adequate for this 
type of game but they do have flaws. For 
example the screen update becomes jerky 
at certain points during the game. The 
biggest let down is the lack of save facility. 
You will have to play from start to finish in 
one go and given the size of the playing 
area this could take some time. Finishing 
the game will require a lot of patience, but 
arcade adventure enthusiasts or fans of the 
board game should definitely check this 
one out. IVs nice to see that they have 
included the novel by P.R Reid as this gives 
an invaluable insight into the actual goings 
on that shaped the board and computer 
game. Coiditz is definitely recommended 
but it requires a great deal of devotion. 


CANDLE 

Allows you to see when in 
the underground tunnels. 


PICK-AXE 

Used for opening a tunnel 
in the courtyard. 


PASS 

If you show your pass to a 
guard he may let you into a 
restricted area. But this 
may not always work. 


SILVER KEY 

Will open any door with a 
grade one security lock. 


SAW 

To start a tunnel inside you 
must first remove the floor 
boards with the saw. Then 
you can enter Into it. 


LOCK PICK 

Will open any door that 
hasn’t got a security lock. 


PAPERS 

These fake German identi¬ 
fication papers may get 
you through the main gate. 
Keep them safe. 



Nt ighty, naughty. You have been caught in a restricted are and the guards have 
pli ced you in solitary confinement. It could be hours before you are released so any 
pli ns you had may have to be abandoned.

Only a few demos naoe been receiued oner 

_ the past tew weens, so 

naturaity we could only entend the 
couerage to what you see on the 
page hetow. This month we 
haue three people to thank 
tor sendfng tn a coitection of 
tnefr latest demos, it you want 
any of these contact either A Bit on the side. 
CVB computers or BBS. 




1 An excellent demo to 
show off the capabifities of 
your Amiga is Fillet the Fish, 
offering superb animations and hilari¬ 
ous cartoon capers. 

S Another superb PD disk 
is the Chaos Rock demo sent 
to us by A Bit on the Side. It 
features some really great music 
accompanied by some rather dated 
psychedelic effects. 

3 Another great animation 
* for one megabyte users is 
the Car and Unicycle anim 
demo featuring two animated 
sequences that eventually join togeth¬ 
er when the car hits the cycle. 




^ There are absolutely 
loads of Star Trek animation 
demos, each one usually 
depicting a classic scene from one of 
the films. This demo disk shows the 
Reliant being repaired as you scan 
over the bridge and turn to see other 
famous starships. 




5 Making a change from 
^ the usual Batdance remixes 
‘ that appeared a while back is 

this fairly long sequence showing Bat¬ 
man being flattened by the Joker, 
before he eventually gets his own back 
using a Bat-Bat!?! 

6 Chuck makes a re- 
^ appearance in AquaChuck 
^ and CyberChuck (shown 

here). Also featured is a man running 
on water plus a dancing Coke can! 

7 A bundle of animated 
^ digitised pictures from the 
‘ film Rollerball are featured 

on, yep, the Rollerball demo. However, 
you do need one megabyte and two 
disk drives to run it.

A BEAST OF A PROBLEIVI 

/ have recently bought the latest 
Amiga Action and to be quite hon¬ 
est, I think it is brilliant For Christ¬ 
mas me and my brother received 
an Amiga and your magazine has 
helped us to understand the great 
variety of games available. I pur¬ 
chased Shadow of the Beast II on 
the basis of your excellent review 
but I cannot get past the monster 
that appears just behind the water¬ 
fall. Can you help? 

Also, I have one or two other 
queries: 

1. In your opinion, what are the 
best adventures I can lay my 
hands on? 

2. What is the best goif game for 
the Amiga? 

3. Are there going to be any more 
new releases from Psygnosis? 

4. How much does a decent 
modem cost? 

Andrew Thompson, Edinburgh. 

Hi Andrew, thanks for your gener¬ 
ous comments on the mag. When 
we reviewed Beast II a few months 
back, Aiex and Doug were also 
having problems in defeating that 
same monster. As far as I can tell, 
the giant cyclops needs to be lured 
over the bridge. When he follows 
you, he’ll fall through leaving you to 
carry on. 

1. In my opinion Sierra adventures 
are by far the best. I suggest you 
look at the Space Quest or King’s 
Quest series. 

2. There are a number of decent 
golf games on the Amiga, but one 
that represents excellent value is 
World Class Leaderboard, now 
available from Kixx for £7.99. 

3. Psygnosis have just released 
the superb Lemmings, and last 
month they released Obitus. The 
only other game in the pipeline is 
Armour-Geddon, a futuristic battle 
simulator. 

4. It depends on what you mean 
by a decent modem. A really top 
quality modem will set you back a 
lot of groats. However there are 
two"cheaper types availabledual 
speed (1200/75 baud only) and 
multi-speed (120075 and 
1200/1200 baud). You can still pick 
up a dual speed modem for around 
£80. Try Pace on 0274 488211. 

The more popular and faster 
multi-speeds are naturally more 
expensive at around £280. You can 
also try Eurolink on 0625 878888. 

HOT ROB HIJINH 

Last night, armed with my joystick 
(I beg your pardon?) / played the 

lUU 



VOO'UE BEEN FRAMEO 

/ have been an Amiga owner for a 
few months now and I now have a 
couple of questions I need to ask 
you. 

1. I know someone at my school 
who pirates computer games and 
has on a number of occasions tried 
to sell me them. Of course I have 
refused but he just won’t stop pes¬ 
tering me. 

He says he has an uncle in the 
States who works for Ocean and 
gets him the games before they are 


daylights out of Activision’s Hotrod. 
Don’t ask how long for, because I 
stopped counting after the first 
hour. 

I was hoping to complete it that 
night, but after completing the first 
hundred screens I decided to give 
up as it was 4 o’clock in the morn¬ 
ing. I wonder if you could tell me if 
the game ever finishes, or whether 
it carries on repeating tracks? 

Mark ‘bored’ Donovan, Hants. 

You seem to be having the same 
problem that Alex had when he 
reviewed the game many issues 
ago. He played it for well over two 
hours and managed to complete 
over 120 stages. 

In answer to your question, as 
far as I know the game keeps on 
wrapping around, but if anybody 
has persevered through it to the 
end, please let us know. 

STRATEGIC INFO 

This may make you feel a little sick 
but I am trying to get some infor¬ 
mation on a strategy war game I 
used to play on the Dragon 32. It 
was called Strategic Command by 
Microdeal, and the reason I 
thought it was so good was the fact 
that you could play with two players 
at the same time. I was hoping you 
could give me any help on an 
Amiga version, or something simi¬ 
lar. 

Ian Dryden, Newcastle. 

I have good news and some bad 
news. The bad news first: No one 
here can ever recall a game called 
Strategic Command on the Amiga 
by Microdeal or any other company 
for that matter. However, Doug has 
said that Conflict Europe had a 
similar option for two players, so I 
suggest you try that one. 


released but I don’t know whether 
he is telling the truth or not. When 
we confronted him, he denied the 
accusations, so we got copies of a 
few off him i.e. Hard Drivin’, Hotrod, 
etc, so we would have proof 
against him. What I would like to 
know is will I get prosecuted for 
handling pirated games and should 
inform F.A.S.T. of our story? 

2. Why have you not reviewed 
Defenders of the Earth? If you 
don’t intend to review it, could you 
please tell me a score so I can 
decide whether to buy the game or 
not? 

3. Is there a cheat for Rainbow 
Islands? 

Anonymous. 


If you are worried about being pros¬ 
ecuted yourself, you should be fine 
if you send the pirated disks to 
FAST straightaway. Remember that 
pirating software is against the law, 
and if you can supply information to 
assist FAST in their aims, you could 
get a reward. 

The reason we didn’t review 
Defenders of the 
Earth is 
because we 
were never 
sent a 
review copy 
of the game 
at the time 
of release. 


However, we have now played it 
and scored it 62% overall. 

As for a Rainbow Islands 
cheat, I don’t know of one for the 
Amiga version. 


REABER GALLERY GGNE? 

Last year I bought a copy of Amiga 
Action and .^noticed the Reader 
Gallery page. I saw the quality of 
the graphics and got to work on 
Photon Paint, and made some 
good piccies. I then decided to 
purchase the next issue of AA and 
to my horror my newsagent had 
stopped selling it. 

I was wondering if Amiga 
Action still featured Reader Gallery 
and if so, do you return the art 
disks? 

Michael Woozley, Swansea. 


Luckily for you, Michael we still do 
the Reader Gallery page, although 
the response in the past three 
months has been very poor. Feel 
free to send in any artwork that you 
may have done, but sadly we 
cannot guarantee to return the 
disks. So I recommend you

This game is set in the early 1800s when facto¬ 
ries are beginning to rise, the population is 
swelling and the industrial revolution has begun. 

A perfect opportunity has arisen for you - 
the population is spreading West and you’ve the 
chance to earn phenomenal wealth. Build a rail¬ 
way that successfully links the various parts of 
the USA and Europe, and keep expanding while 
maintaining the old track in good condition. 

Compete against other famous rail barons 
from the era, and build your way to success in 
both the press and public’s eye. Watch your 
treasury increase along with the your power.

It was a while ago that Mercenary came out. It 
was somewhat of a hit and probably Novagen’s 
most popular game. Moonfall is almost identical 
in look, but vastly different in gameplay. 

You are a pilot on a starship called Dedalus 
I on course for Wolf 359. Unfortunately, a small 
moon that has strayed out of its orbit happens to 
be in your path, forcing you to make an emer¬ 
gency landing on the planet. 

Unable to leave, your only choice is to run 
missions for the alien inhabitants to stay alive.

Ski or Die has been available on the PC for 
quite a time now, but it has finally arrived on the 
Amiga. Believe it or not, Ski or Die is about ski¬ 
ing and other events involving snow. 

There are five events in all: Snowboard Half¬ 
pipe, Snowball Blast, Acro-Aerials, Innertube 
Thrash and Downhill Blitz. 

Half-pipe is viewed from behind your man, 
and involves you performing a number of tricks 
while movingdown a half pipe. Snowball Blast is 
a fight between you and a number of kids who

IHRURH-£24.99 

Before the dawn of mankind dinosaurs roamed 
the plains of Earth. You must travel back mil¬ 
lions of years to the times when these giant 
lizards ruled the planet unchallenged, that is 


until they became extinct many centuries later. 
You must journey on a prehistoric tale to save 
the dinosaurs. 

A Prehistoric Tale can be played solo or two 
player simultaneously. Your job Is to transfer 
dinosaurs from a seismically active area (you 
know, a place where there are loads of vol¬ 
canos and earthquakes) to a quieter region. To 
do this, you must teleport the eggs and their 
hatchlings. 

There are 80 levels in all and the task 
ahead isn’t going to be an easy one. The parent 
dinosaurs are not all that keen on you taking 
their offspring and have other plans for you - 
dinner!

Remember Gold of the Americas, a neat strate¬ 
gy game? Well this is from the same software 
house, SSG, and is an eight player game set in 
the mystical land of llluria. Build up your army of 
ores, elves, dwarves and other fantastic crea¬ 
tures in a campaign to crush your enemies 
underfoot. 

During the peace treaty, the world was at 
rest. However, now it has ended the eight war¬ 
lords are all power hungry and insist on destroy¬ 
ing their opponents. 

You begin the game with a lone castle and a 
small treasury, and from this you must increase 
the size of your army and build and create 
defences before going on the attack for more 
spoils.

• Simple icon control system 

• Good graphics 

• In-depth gameplay

Amiga Action runs fairly smoothly 
from month to month but there is 
one job that leaves us all quaking 
in our boots and that is the job of 
getting the coverdisk. This respon¬ 
sibility is tossed around like a 
rather soggy lettuce. No one wants 
it! 

The Ed is normally blessed 
with getting the coverdisk together 
but the strain has finally taken its 
toll and therefore he has decided to 
shun the responsibility and give it 
to someone else, after all, he 
makes the final decisions and any¬ 
one who argues with him gets 
thrown under a speeding train. 

The person nominated for the 
task at hand happens to be a cer¬ 
tain jug-eared fink who you all 
know well - Doug. 

On hearing the news Doug 
breaks down into a useless blob. 
Just look at the relief on the Ed’s 
face and the utter horror on Doug’s 
on hearing the news. 

Unfortunately, there is no such 
thing as sympathy at Amiga Action 
and so Doug is forced to go and 
whimper in one of the corners of 
the office. Oh the joy of being the 
editor of Amiga Action!

CAUGHT in THE ACT 

The Main Man of Interactive, Hugh 
Gollner, is seen here phoning up 
one of those naughty chat lines. In 
fact, Hugh has just acquired him¬ 
self a new girlie friend. Although we 
refer to her as new it is true to say 
that Hugh has never had any old 
girlfriends. In fact, he's never had a 
girlfriend at all! 

Hang on a minute, what’s this 
Hugh? Leave now? What do you 
mean?

UEIIA FUUCE 


We recommend that you try out a 
little Amiga Action party game - 
Delta Force. Unfortunately, it is a lit¬ 
tle dangerous so take care. This is 
a joke so don’t try it otherwise we’ll 
get letters of complaint from your 
mums. 

Three people start at the top of 
the stairs. The first person, or lead¬ 
er, slides head first down the stairs 
at great speed. The other two fol¬ 


low. The result: - a rather large 
mountain of groaning bodies with a 
few twisted and broken limbs. But 
take a look at the burn marks. Now 
you are a proud member of the 
Delta Force. 

Amiga Action cannot be held 
responsible for any subsequent 
injury or deaths resulting from the 
dangers of this new sport. So don’t 
take it out on us. 


Last month we printed the winners 
of the Aaah, It Must be Jane^ 
compo but we just had to show you j; 
this entry which will also win its'" 
creator a copy of Team Suzuki > 
from Gremlin Graphics. The art-f 
work is excellent and even Jane|^ 
commented on how realistic it was. 

We think the fangs could have ? 
been longer but the hair is just right ! 
as well as the mouldy features. ^ 
Well done Paul Henderson. 


You may not recognise this young 
lady but it is Interactive’s Advertis¬ 
ing Manager and keep fit freak, 
Jane Conway. 

Now Jane tells us that she not 
a heavy drinker but we think differ¬ 
ently. This picture tells it all! Jane is 
such an incessant drinker that 
when she’s too drunk to hold the 
bottle she has to get some assis¬ 
tance. The glowing cheeks and 
starry eyes are all you need to see 
to realise that she needs help. Any 
ideas, send them in.
